well, since i'm going for CR-1 I won't have a biometrics at first, but I will need to do one to remove conditions in 2 years, so yeah I'm saved one trip to the chopping block

So that´s ok You have plenty of time to psychically prepare yourself for the torture

it was the first time in my life i had to give fingerprints, and I really hated it. I just hate the thought of having my fingerprints or DNA or iris scan on a govt file. It creeps me out.

I know they already have my past addresses, jobs, medical info, but somehow biometric info seems more personal. I can change my name, I can move somewhere else, but my fingerprints will always be the same. Besides the only reason they would have my fingerprints in the UK or in Ireland is because I was convicted of something. Seems like being an immigrant you are treated the same way as a criminal by the US govt.

I kind of agree with your viewpoint and it would creep me out a bit too (but I'm the USC so I don't have to do it). I guess it is just a necessary evil.

yeah, I know it's worth it and all that jazz. I didn't want to have the HPV vaccine and I swallowed that one too, just all seems a little OTT is all. My OH has residency here, and they've never even seen him in person, let alone take his fingerprints.

[rae_and_scott 1]

Yeah, unfortunately the US is just extremely xenophobic at this moment in history. It sucks. I have a feeling my OH is also really not gonna dig having his fingerprints taken.

Well it´s not like I am a huge fan of all the fingerprinting but on the other hand if it helps our safety then it´s another matter. I believe if Canada or any other country were in the same position like USA and if certain incidents happened in our home countries like they happened in USA our home countries would start having bigger security checks too. Or not?

Yeah I sometimes feel like they are doing too much trying to secure their country... u can just never be sure about things... About your statements with the other countries. Germany just started having new passports, for which u need to do a fingerprint whatever as well... so its not only the U.S. thats using fingerprint proof...

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Yeah, in CZ they are seriously discussing new passports with chips in it now but they aren´t sure about what biometrics data it will include yet...they wanna start with that next year. I heard that in UK they apparently started collecting DNA of all arrested people, not only of the charged or convicted ones. And that comes after they lost all the info of people who receive child benefits or what...
