Important Notice from USCIS regarding fingerprints

USCIS has experienced some technical difficulties with the Form I-797C, Notice of Action – Fingerprint Notification. Between July 8 and August 4, 2010, USCIS did not print and mail this form to asylum applicants living in California and Arizona.

What You Should Do:

Go to the nearest USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for fingerprinting and biometrics collection before your asylum interview if you:

Live in California or Arizona
Received an Asylum Interview Notice for an interview scheduled for August 2010
Have not received a Fingerprint Notification
Have not had your fingerprints and biometrics collected in the last 60 days for your asylum application.

You should take the following with you to the ASC:
Your Asylum Interview Notice
Any dependent family members included on your asylum case
Photo identification, such as a passport, valid driver’s license, national ID, military ID, State-issued photo ID, or USCIS-issued ID, for you and all family members (if any)

Do not return to the ASC for fingerprinting and biometrics collection for your asylum application if:

You received a Fingerprint Notification after your fingerprints and biometrics were collected in the past 60 days for your asylum application

You attended your asylum interview

Your fingerprints were not rejected by USCIS
