USCIS case status · Fingerprints
Fingerprint Fee Was Received
What it means
USCIS recorded the part of your payment that covers fingerprints and photos. It is an accounting step, not the appointment itself, and it usually appears soon after the case is received.
What usually happens next
A biometrics appointment notice (Form I-797C, ASC appointment) is mailed, typically a few weeks later. It gives the date, time and Application Support Center address.
What to do now
- Watch your mail for the appointment notice; the status may not change when it is sent.
- Make sure USCIS has your current address.
Questions
- Do I need to do anything when I see this status?
- No. Wait for the appointment notice and go to the appointment it gives you.
