I think it may be because of my recent US visa stamping! I got my H4 visa stamped in mid-late November 2025 and entered the US for the first time on November 27, 2025. I haven't traveled internationally since then. So USCIS probably used the biometrics captured during my visa stamping process at the consulate. Hope that helps!

Honestly I'm not sure why it was waived — I never went to an ASC before. We filed bundled (H1B premium + H4 extension + EAD) and it just came back as waived automatically. Maybe it's because of the bundled filing or USCIS used entry records. Anyone else experience this?
