What to expect after fingerprints have been mislabeled during adjustment of status case?

Recently had an uscis interview for adjustment of status. As soon as we got there officer said that there was a mix up with my fingerprints. From what I understood they mixed up my fingerprints I’m female with another man’s fingerprints I don’t understand how this could’ve happened. An officer said they will have to fix the problem before they can proceed with anything else. We still had an interview, and it went very well. She said we will not have to come in again. My question is does this happen often? And what to expect now?

it obviously happens, if this is  what happened in your case and they realized it and have a procedure to take care of it.  it may take a few months for them to resolve it.  they may also have to have you resubmit fingerprints if they cannot locate yours (most likely).  i would suggest that you follow up with the local office every couple of weeks.
