In this brief bilingual segment, a viewer asks Lorena Rivas what happens after the biometric (fingerprint) appointment for a U.S. permanent‑resident (green‑card) application. The speaker, addressing Ryan, explains that after the USCIS biometrics appointment the applicant enters a waiting phase. During this period USCIS may either approve the case, issue a Request for Evidence (RFE), or otherwise make a decision on the submitted application. No further action is required from the applicant until USCIS contacts them, so the next step is essentially to wait for USCIS’s decision.

After the fingerprints, the applicant simply waits for USCIS to make a decision on the application or to request more evidence.

Una pregunta: Hi Lorena, after the fingerprint appointment for permanent resident, what is the next step? Ryan, después de las huellas con inmigración, lo que sigue después de eso es esperar que inmigración te mande una aprobación. No estoy segura qué proceso estás haciendo, Ryan, pero es esperar que ellos nos dan una situación. After the fingerprints, it's just waiting for immigration to make a decision on the applications you submitted, or to request more evidence. So it's just now the wait, la espera.
