Reuse biometric

[Gaya1]

Hello everyone,
Quick question for my friend -
Last week he performed a biometric for renewal his greencard, next month he will applied for citizenship, will he be summoned for biometric again or can the immigration reuse what he have already done?

No, they will probably use the same biometrics

I don't know the details of the biometric reuse policy the USCIS follows but I didn't have to go and get fingerprinted when I filed my N-400, even though my last interaction with the USCIS had been ~5 years earlier (I-485, for which I was fingerprinted).

Thanks
is there any policy that says the biometric is valid for several months for anything in the immigration?

Most likely to be re-used BUT biometrics fee is still applicable upon application.

Biometric data should be handled with the utmost care due to privacy and security concerns. If you mean reusing biometric data, it's crucial to follow best practices for data protection, encryption, and user consent. This could apply in situations where biometric data is used for multiple applications or services.
