If I'm asked to give my biometrics, does that mean my application is approved? No. Giving your biometrics is one of the steps you need to do before we can process your application. Once you give us your biometrics, we'll use them to assess your application.

Most of the time, the USCIS service center or the U.S. consulate handling your application will inform you of your biometrics appointment with an appointment notice (called an ASC notice), roughly 5-8 weeks after you file your application.

How To Book An INFOPASS Appointment. To schedule an INFOPASS appointment, first, you will need to call the USCIS 1-800-375-5283 and reach a supervisor. The supervisor will determine if you need an INFOPASS appointment and if it is determined that you do, the supervisor will schedule it for you.

If you fail to attend your scheduled biometrics appointment, it could result in significant delays in your immigration application. USCIS could even take the view that your application was abandoned, and reject it accordingly.
