USCIS “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken” nghĩa là gì?

A status that often appears after an applicant completes biometrics is:

Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

This status often makes applicants wonder whether the application is about to be Approved or not.

The answer is: this is a sign that the application has gone one step further, but it is not a final decision.

What does this status mean?

USCIS updated the system to reflect that the applicant's fingerprint information was captured during application processing.

Depending on the application, biometric data may be collected by appointment or USCIS may use existing biometric data.

What will happen after Fingerprints Were Taken?

The application can continue to go through steps such as:

* Background and security checks.

* Review the evidence in the file.

* Request additional items if needed.

* Interview if required.

* Make the final decision.

There is no regulation that after this status the application will definitely be Approved within a fixed period of time.

Is the application about to be Approved?

Such a conclusion cannot be made.

This is an active processing step but the time from Biometrics to final decision depends on the type of application, application status and USCIS processing.

Therefore, the Fingerprints Were Taken status should not be taken alone to accurately predict the Approved date.

Do I need to get fingerprinted again?

If USCIS has updated that fingerprints have been recorded, it is generally not a good idea to schedule or schedule another appointment.

If USCIS sends you a new notice or request, follow the instructions in that notice.

Need to do anything right now?

If there are no new requirements from USCIS, applicants usually only need to:

* Track USCIS account.

* Check mail and email.

* Track next statuses.

* Prepare a response if USCIS requests additional documents.
