Help! Biometrics Appoiment.
 

hello to all,

i just received by mail my biometrics appointment for the deferred action which is in one week and a half and I'm excited. This is the reason why I'm making this thread.
I came to the U.S. in 1999 thru Ciudad Juarez/El Paso illegally crossing the border and the first time i got caught by border patrol and they took us to the station to take our information, mugshot and scanned our finger prints at that time I was 12 years old but the problem right now is that the day I got caught back in 1999 I changed my legal name to another because of my dad's background in the US. Since I didn't have any documents that day to prove my name the took the info i gave them and they only scanned my index finger to the laser machine they had back then. D
Now my questions to y'all are. D
1) Do y'all think when i do my biometrics the info will show up in their system as the other name?
2) what should i do?
3) can i get in trouble?

p.s. i do have an attorney that is representing me but i haven't told her.

that wouldve been the first thing i mentioned to her ...i would deff go to her office or give her a call and explain the situation

1) Yes theres going to be a mismatch on the names...
2) Go back to your lawyer and tell her about it, see if it would affect you in any way. For sure though its going to delay your app
3) Maybe ...maybe not ask your lawyer

Right now your best bet is your lawyer!!!

Yeah, You should have mentioned this to your attorney. Why didn't you?

You're still living here under your pretend name?

Re: Help! Biometrics Appoiment.
 

no, i only changed my name bach in 1999 when i was caught since then i have use my real name for eveything, credit cards, bank accounts etc.

So, what your saying is that you basically gave the officers a fake name when you got caught and fingerprinted? When you got here you used your real name.

ok, i already spoke to her about this, she said that why i didn't told her since the beginning and this and that. She told me go head and go to the appoinment and if the officer at the biometrics ask me if i have use another name or i have changed my name just to tell him yes i have done it and just tell the truth and if I get detained by ICE she is going to represent me.

any suggestions?
