Filing
Fee.
Each petition
must be accompanied by the appropriate filing
fee. (See the
What Is the
Filing
Fee
section
of these
Instructions.)
Biometric
Services
Fee.
If you file
this petition
with USCIS, you do not need to include a biometric services fee at
the time you submit your petition. If you are later notified
that you must
submit biometrics, you will receive a biometric services
appointment notice with instructions on how to submit the
additional biometric services fee. If you file
this petition
with an agency other than USCIS, please check with that agency to
determine if and when you must submit a biometric services fee.
Evidence.
At the time of
filing,
you must submit
all evidence and supporting documentation listed in these
Instructions.
Biometric
Services
Appointment.
USCIS may require that
you appear for an interview or provide fingerprints, photograph,
and/or signature at any time to verify your identity,
obtain additional information, and conduct background and security
checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), before making a
decision on your application, petition, or request.
After
USCIS receives
your petition
and
ensures it is
complete, we will inform you in writing, if you need to attend a
biometric services appointment. If an appointment is necessary,
the notice will provide you the location of your local or
designated USCIS
Application
Support Center (ASC) and the date and time of your appointment or,
if you are currently overseas, instruct you to contact a U.S.
Embassy,
U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office
outside the
United States to set up an appointment.

Copies.
You
may submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the
Instructions specifically
state that you
must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original
document at the time of filing
or at any time
during processing of an application, petition, or request. If you
submit original documents when not required, the documents may
remain a part of the record, and USCIS will not automatically
return them to you.

Evidence.
At the

Biometric
Services
Appointment.
Every
individual who is an applicant, petitioner, derivative,
beneficiary, or sponsor of an immigration benefit request or other
request submitted to USCIS is required to submit biometrics unless
USCIS waives or exempts the requirement. You will be
notified of the time and place of your appointment if you must
appear and you will be provided requirements for rescheduling if
necessary. If you fail to submit any biometrics as required, USCIS
may deny your application, petition, or request.
DHS
may store the biometrics submitted by an individual and use or
reuse biometrics to conduct background and security checks,
including a check of criminal history records maintained by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), verify identity, produce
documents, determine eligibility for immigration and
naturalization benefits, or to perform any other functions
necessary for administering and enforcing immigration and
naturalization laws, and any other law within DHS authority.
