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 or petition. After USCIS receives
your application 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.
If
you are required to provide biometrics, at your appointment you
must sign an oath reaffirming that:
1.
You provided or authorized all information in the application;
2.
You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in,
and submitted with, your application;
and
3.
All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the
time of filing.
If
you fail to attend your biometric services appointment, USCIS may
deny your application.
Copies.
You should 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 or
petition. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it
will be returned to you after USCIS determines it no longer needs
your original.
