Do I-485 applicants under age 14 and over age 79, who do not need to be fingerprinted, still need to go to an appointment at an Application Support Center (ASC)?
Yes, any I-485 applicant under age 14 or over age 79 needs to have his or her photograph and signature captured at an ASC. These biometrics are needed to produce the I-551 Permanent Resident Card (“green card”). Applicants in these age groups receive specific I-485 notices that are printed with the ASC code of 2, which, when presented at the ASC, provide for the capture of the photograph and signature only.
