Had biometrics for I-485 back in June (as part of move to GC from H1B). I didn't file the I-765 EAD until recently since my H1B is valid until Feb and I was hoping AOS would be done by then. They've now asked me to go for another biometrics for the I-765 application.

Is this normal? Shouldn't my I-485 biometrics from June be applicable? Or is this a case of the USCIS's right hand not talking to its left...

Thanks

No idea. But you have to go again...

Yes. The I-485 is a full set of 10, the EAD is just one finger. The prints are not transferable from one application to another.

Yes, this is normal. The I-485 has it's own biometrics (full 10-digit set), and the I-765 has it's own separate biometrics (1-digit print and photograph). You have to go again.

Best Wishes,

True, there's probably nowt I could do if it was a mistake but I wanted to know anyway. It's a major inconvenience (travel-wise) and I'd be narked if it was all needless.
