Whew! At last my Biometrics was done! After a month of waiting for the re-schedule. It was not as complicated as I thought while preparing the requirements.

Firstly, I brought the following:

• My Photo ID - driver's license
• Notice of Action or Appointment Letter
• My passport

They did not asked for my passport. But I advice those who do not have biometrics to follow what was stated in the NOA or Notice of Action letter.

I did not bring camera and cellphone as stated but I did not see any machine there to detect those gadgets or nobody asked me if I have those gadgets.

The worse thing that would happen if you do not have a cellphone and you are not from Honolulu, it would be difficult to call for a taxi, I can not find some telephone both there. Good thanks that a stranger waiting for a bus in a bus stop dialed the taxi number that was given to me from the airport.

The whole procedure just took less than 10 minutes.

The next thing that I worried about was my flight schedule in going back to Kauai Island, 3 hours of waiting in the airport but I was able to handle it by changing the flight schedule and paid $25. That's it. Jetlog

My Biometric schedule was originally set last Oct 4, 2008 but someone called from USCIS Honolulu that my appointment will be rescheduled because there was no office on that date. Luckily, Today is the schedule October 31st, booooooh , Halloween , I wonder if they will moved this again! I am now getting ready for my flight to Honolulu at Ala Moana Blvd.

Requirements:

• I-797C, Notice of Action
• Photo Identification

All applicants must bring their passport, driver's license, national ID, or State-issued photo ID. If you appear without your identification, your biometrics will not be taken.

Cell phones, cameras, or other recording devices are not permitted.

I just have have the following identification:

• passport
• driver's license
• marriage certificate (just in case if the airport authorities might question me, my passport name is still my maiden name)

This post is a continuation on my previous post on K1 Biometrics dated October 19, 2008 or an updates for my Biometric schedule. As mentioned on my post, I was scheduled for a Biometrics by USCIS Honolulu last October 4th, and so I have book a round trip ticket on that date. After a week, I received a call from Honolulu that my schedule will be postponed because the date of appointment has no office. (I don't know what kind of holiday). And I just need to wait for further instructions from them. I waited for almost a month and just 6 days ago, I received again a call that they can not grant my request in my mail to have my interview and biometrics at the same time. Yesterday, I got a mail from them for my final Biometrics schedule for my Adjustment of Status (AOS) application and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) on October 31, 2008 (Halloween..... Booooh).

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.
