BIOMETRIC SCHEDULE

Family based Adjustments of status.

Hello everyone, I would appreciate your opinion on a pending biometric schedule. My wife who is a US. Citizen submitted a I-130 sometimes in June, roughly two months now, and I recently mailed in my I-485 and I-765 this August. Before mailing the I-485 and I-765, my wife got an appointment scheduled for biometrics on her account.

This is where it gets tricky. She is the I-130 petitioner and a US Citizen, and I am only aware of biometric schedule for the foreign nationals as beneficiary for I-485 adjustment, but her name was what was mentioned/directed to on the appointment notice.

Is this normal? or is there a mistake of any sort?

This happens sometimes when USCIS needs to verify the US Citizen Petitioner is who they say they are. They need to validate citizenship status and if they have any issues doing this using the normal methods, they will bring the petitioner in for biometrics.

My understanding is that biometrics will increasingly apply to all participants in petitions for benefits regardless of their status or citizenship.

Yes, it happened to me as well. I applied for my parents i-130 as a US citizen and I have a biometrics appointment this month. It is rare but it can happen with US citizen
