At the master calendar hearing, counsel for DHS will provide you with instructions for providing biometric and biographical information to USCIS that you must follow. These instructions may also be obtained at www.uscis.gov/laws/immigration-benefits-eoir-removal-proceedings. The following paragraphs describe the instructions that you will have to follow.
In addition to filing your Form I-589 with the Immigration Court and serving a copy on the appropriate U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of the Chief Counsel, you must also complete the following requirements before the immigration judge can grant relief or protection in your case.
Send the following three items to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center:
1. A clear copy of the first three pages of your completed Form I-589 that you will be filing or have filed with the Immigration Court, which must include your full name, current residential address, current mailing address, and A-Number. Do not submit any documents other than the first three pages of the completed Form I-589;
2. A copy of Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, if you are represented; and
3. A copy of the instructions provided by counsel for DHS that you received at your first master calendar hearing in immigration removal proceedings.

[Page 10]
After the three items are received at the USCIS Nebraska Service Center, you will receive:
1. A USCIS receipt notice indicating that USCIS received your Form I-589; and
2. An Application Support Center (ASC) notice for you and any eligible spouse and children included in your Form I-589 who are also in removal proceedings. Each ASC notice will indicate the individual’s unique receipt number and will provide instructions for each person to appear for an appointment at a nearby ASC for collection of biometrics (such as your photograph, fingerprints, and signature). If you do not receive the ASC notice in 3 weeks, call 1-800-375-5283 (TTY: 1-800-767-1833).
NOTE: If you also mail applications for other forms of relief that you are applying for while in removal proceedings, as specified by the instructions provided by counsel for DHS at your master calendar hearing, you will receive two notices with different receipt numbers. You must wait for and take both scheduling notices to your ASC appointment.
You (and your eligible spouse and children, regardless of age) must then:
1. Attend the biometrics appointment at the ASC and obtain a biometrics confirmation document before leaving the ASC; and
2. Retain your ASC biometrics confirmation as proof that your biometrics were taken and bring it to your future Immigration Court hearings.
NOTE: If the instructions above should change for submitting copies of the first three pages of your asylum application to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center for purposes of receiving the receipt notice and ASC scheduling appointment, you will be provided the changed instructions, either at the master calendar hearing or at another point in the Immigration Court proceedings. Follow the instructions you are provided, or else you may not receive the ASC biometrics scheduling notice in a timely manner.
1. After completion of exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings, and in conjunction with a motion to reopen under 8 CFR part 1003, with the Immigration Court having jurisdiction over the prior proceeding, any such motion must reasonably explain the failure to request asylum prior to the completion of the proceedings; or
2. In proceedings under 8 CFR 208.2I and 1208.2I and after Form I-863, Notice of Referral to Immigration Judge, has been served on you and filed with the Immigration Court, an immigration judge will have exclusive jurisdiction over your case.
