User Question: What happens on biometrics day? What kind of documents do I have to carry?

Expert

Expert Answer: On the day of your biometrics appointment, USCIS will collect your fingerprints, photograph, and signature to verify your identity and conduct background checks.

### What to Expect:
1. **Check-in Process**: Upon arrival at the Application Support Center (ASC), you will present your appointment notice and identification.
2. **Biometric Collection**: USCIS staff will take your fingerprints, photograph, and signature electronically.
3. **Verification**: You will confirm your biographical information.
4. **Completion**: The process usually takes around 15–30 minutes.

### Documents to Bring:
- **Appointment Notice (Form I-797C, Notice of Action)**
- **Valid Photo ID** (e.g., passport, driver's license, EAD, or state ID)
- **Any other requested documents** (if mentioned in your appointment notice)

No additional paperwork is needed unless specified. After the appointment, you do not receive immediate results, but your application process continues based on USCIS’s review of your background check.
