Answer 1

It is not a medical.The biometrics exam is for 3 things...Fingerprints,digital photographs and retinal eye scan. Its all to do with positive identity,will be kept on government records for ever, and will be part of your US passport when you get one!

The best ID is a current passport, next is a drivers licence ot an employee ID card.Don't you have any of those? If not, you may be able to get one from your state, of from social security, or  your local library if they have them.

The time you have to wait depends on the backlog in your area. You might find that information on the website of your local USCIS office that is handling your application.

Don't take any cameras, knives or cellphones in with you. If there is no line, it will take less than 30 minutes.

Don't panic. It is no big deal.

Answer 2

Biomatrix is only your finger prints for investigation. Take your appointment receipt and your i.d. Whatever you have at hand to identify yourself and that's it.

Good Luck!
