Montebello, CA asked in Immigration Law for California

Q: Filed I-131, it was accepted and fee taken. Have not received biometrics letter but status is updated fingerprints taken

Does this mean they are using biometrics from a previous application and I do not need to wait for a biometrics appointment before leaving the US?

As of September 6, 2022, fingerprints relating to your Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxx, have been applied to your case. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

A: Most likely yes, but you should have received a notification from USCIS letting you know that they are going to re-use your previous biometrics info. Check the notices you received. Best wishes!
