Someway,somehow you have to get Government ID.Passport or a National ID should suffice.
Can you please tell me what a national Id is and what would be the easiest to get.Any advise or input would be helpful

So I actually called the USCIS hotline about this problem. She wasn't necessarily helpful and even a bit rude (big surprise!) which caused me to be a tiny bit impatient, which I regret, but whatever, here's the two pieces of information I got:

Under typical circumstances, USCIS takes 30 days to set your biometrics appointment. Which means we're looking at August 15 + 30 days (or more) + 80 days (or more). This shouldn't come as a surprise anymore though.

When asked about the ID for biometrics, she said that they do not know how the biometrics system will take place for childhood arrivals. While it's not really an answer at all, it does suggest that they are re-evaluating every step of the process for us, knowing that we, as undocumented immigrants, come with our own unique problems that most other immigrants don't. While I'm not completely relieved, I'm not that stressed about the valid ID for biometrics issue anymore.

You're given a date and place to go to and to come with the required materials that is on the Notice.On the notice it should list the types of ID that are considered acceptable for the process.When the time comes you go to the place where you will see your first real immigration personnel and officers who will ask you to submit your ID with Biometrics notice and when they are satisfied the ID is real and matches you with the notice in their system you're then given a number to wait until it is your turn to have your fingerprints taken and picture.General rule of thumb is that if you live in an immigrant heavy populated area wait times can vary widely depending on the time of day also if you can't attend the Biometrics appointment you should notify USCIS beforehand to rescedule or it is an automatic denial of your application! If everything goes accordingly you'll should have your picture Face frontal taken and fingerprints scanned until a green indicator goes off that the Biometrics is accepted.The personnel operating the machine if nice will sometimes even ask you if the photo is acceptable as they can do it over again to something you may find acceptable for your document and don't forget to smile lol,don't think anyone would want a hideous picture for your first document!
USCIS would only care about the latest passport... the rest are not valid for their purpose.Who you are now confirmed via another Government is more important than who you were.
But the first passport has the stamp of arrival. I'm pretty sure that one has to be sent, don't you think?

i heard some guy's mom told them to go to the local police station to get their sons to get their criminal record to send it to immigration. Is that required of us? I thought they'd do it themselves.

It was suggested that you do a background check of yourself to see if you need a lawyer or not for the process. and yes, they will background check you themselves too.
