When applying for a visa, immigration benefit, green card, or citizenship through USCIS, you are often required to submit ink fingerprint cards. These fingerprint cards are mailed directly to USCIS to complete a background check as part of your application.
At Fingerprints & Apostilles, we specialize in professional immigration fingerprinting, ensuring your fingerprints are captured correctly, clearly, and in full compliance with USCIS requirements.
We serve individuals, families, immigration law firms, embassy clients, and anyone navigating the immigration process who needs fast, reliable fingerprinting.

USCIS requires accurate fingerprint impressions to perform a criminal background check.
If your fingerprints are:
Smudged
Too light or too dark
Misaligned
Incomplete
Rolled incorrectly
…your application can be delayed or rejected, forcing you to redo the entire process.
Many applicants attempt to fingerprint themselves at home, often at the urging of their attorney but improperly rolled fingerprints are the #1 reason for USCIS rejections.
That’s why trained fingerprint technicians are essential.
