Hi there guys! Just a silly question:

Do we have to remove our facial piercings for the Biometrics? I have quite a few and I might have trouble removing them on the spot if they were to ask me.

Thank you in advance! :blush:

What problem could they pose?

:shrug:

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Yes that might be an idea, the thing is thought I have them on my passport pictures. that is why I was asking.

Thanks for the reply!

:shrug:

To be honest I don't know. I just recall reading somewhere that someone was asked to remove their facial piercings at the Biometrics appointment.

If that happens to me there is no way I can remove them on the spot, that is why I was asking...

Thanks for replying!

Well, hopefully they wont ask.... Good luck! I'd leave em in... but thats just me :) If they have to wait for you to take em out, maybe they'll just say... forget it! heh heh

True! ;) Besides there is nothing in the Biometrics appointment letter that mentions piercings... I also have funky-coloured hair, so I don't think they will ask me to change it to my natural colour for the Biometrics :P

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hi there guys! Just a silly question:

Do we have to remove our facial piercings for the Biometrics? I have quite a few and I might have trouble removing them on the spot if they were to ask me.

Thank you in advance! :blush:

this is just my hubbys experience, but he has an eyebrow piercing and he was asked to remove it... he told them that he couldnt and they let him keep it in

his biometrics were done in philadelphia

Thanks so much for the response! I have nose piercings, septum piercings, labret piercings, you name it,... Some I can take off, some I cannot :P Let's see what happens. I guess it'll be up top the officer who takes my biometrics... :devil:
