Signature. Each supplement must be properly signed and filed. For all signatures on this supplement, USCIS will not

guardian may sign the supplement on your behalf. A legal guardian may also sign for a mentally incompetent person.

Filing Fee. Each supplement must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section

of these Instructions.)

Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the What Evidence

Must You Submit to Establish Your Eligibility for Adjustment of Status under INA Section 245(i) section of these

Instructions.

Biometric Services Appointment. USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide fingerprints,

photograph, and/or signature at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and conduct background

and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI), before making a decision on your application, petition, or request. After USCIS receives your supplement and

ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing if you need to attend a biometric services appointment. If an

appointment is necessary, the notice will provide you the location of your local or designated USCIS Application Support

Center (ASC) and the date and time of your appointment.

If you are required to provide biometrics, at your appointment you must sign an oath reaffirming that:

1. You provided or authorized all information in the supplement;

2. You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your supplement; and

3. All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.

If you fail to attend your biometric services appointment, USCIS may deny your supplement. For applicants and

dependents who appear before an immigration judge, failure to attend a biometric services appointment, without good

cause, may result in the immigration judge finding that your application was abandoned, and USCIS may also deny any

other application, petition, or request you filed with USCIS.
