Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Today I'm going to explain everything you need to know about the footprints, how it affects your case, and what's next. Many people ask me this question on social networks and I want to clarify the subject.
Drop me a line and let me know if you've had your prints taken, how long ago, and what you're seeing at Immigration in your case.

People think that the Immigration processing time is counted from the moment you are fingerprinted; but that is not correct. The waiting times at Immigration, which are officially published, are from the moment you apply; the footprints are simply part of the process.

What does it mean to be fingerprinted?

The fact that they take your fingerprints does not mean that your case is going well or that your case is going badly, that they are going to approve it or that they are going to deny it, it is something standard, something that they apply in all cases.
They take your biometrics, fingerprints and photo in order to verify your identity, but it means absolutely nothing in your case.

We have to see how long Immigration is going to takeWe will look at the date on your receipt, and from there we will be able to check with your lawyer on the official Immigration site to see exactly how much the processing times.

What usually follows after the prints?

What follows is the approval. However, there may be something before that, which is that Immigration will ask you for additional testswhat is called a "request for evidence" or a denial.
So, practically after fingerprinting what follows is a decision, to ask for more evidence, to deny your case or to approve it.
