K1 Biometrics

A biometric or biometrics identifier is an objective measurement of a physical characteristic of an individual which, when captured in a database, can be used to verify the identity or check against other entries in the database. The best known biometric is the fingerprint, but others include facial recognition and iris scans.

For those who entered the United States under K1 Visa, upon submitting or filing your Adjustment of Status to the USCIS the Biometric fee is included in the check. (Refer to AOS Checklist below.)

As soon as the USCIS received your application, you will receive a mail from them called the Notice of Action, I-797C. In my Case, I applied Permanent Resident Status and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and I already received my NOA. Few days later, I also received a mail from USCIS Honolulu for my Biometric schedule. I then booked and reserved a plane ticket to Honolulu but after 1 week I received a phone call that my Biometrics will be re-scheduled because according to them my appointment date has no office and I need to wait for further instructions or notice. I tried called the office but I failed to contact them, so I wrote a mail to them to request that my biometrics schedule and my interview will be on the same date. Waiting for more than 4 weeks, I finally got a call that they received my mail but they can not grant my request because I need to have my biometrics first. They will mail me a noitice for my schedule.


So guys, will keep you updated for my biometric experiences soon. Thanks for reading.
