Some immigration applications, such as the
Application for Naturalization or the Application to Register Permanent
Residence or Adjust Status, require the USCIS to conduct a FBI fingerprint
background check on the applicant. Most applicants that require a background
check will be scheduled to appear at a specific Application Support Center (ASC)
or Designated Law Enforcement Agency (DLEA) for fingerprinting.
[NOTE: Applicants are scheduled for an
appointment at a specific ASC. On rare occasions, they are allowed to choose
between more than one site. Please read your appointment notice carefully.]
As of June 20, 2000, many ASCs also receive
applications (Form I-90) for the renewal of 10-year expiring green cards. For
more information on which ASCs accept green card renewal applications for
expiring 10-year green cards, please refer to the web page for the District or
Sub Office having jurisdiction over your place of residence and see the topic
called "Green Card Renewal".
