USCIS Issuing Duplicate Biometrics (ASC Appointments) in Error

On August 27, 2014, the USCIS advised the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that certain applicants for permanent residency who have already completed their biometrics were scheduled for a second biometrics appointment in error. The USCIS stated to AILA that if the applicant already attended an ASC appointment and had biometrics captured, it should not be necessary to attend the second appointment. However, applicants should write to the ASC office (address will be listed on the notice under "Request for Rescheduling") stating biometrics were already taken, including a copy of the stamped earlier notice, and requesting USCIS schedule a new appointment if required.
