Yes, you must do the fingerprints to process, but more information is needed. Are you in Immigration Court proceedings? If so, is your case still pending with the Immigration Court? If so, then there are concerns with whether you properly filed the forms at the proper office. If not, additional work may be needed. If your case was decided by the Immigration Court, then you must re-open the case. If not, then a charging document may be or may have been filed with the immigration court. If there is no action at immigration court by ICE, then there is hope, but I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are further complications. Good luck.

Yes, you must complete biometrics. Failure to do so may result in delay in your case.

You must go for fingerprinting. However, if you were detained by DHS in 2012, that could be a major problem for you. How that case ended, or if it is still open, is a major consideration you need to address. I strongly suggest meeting with an immigration lawyer to discuss.
