The Ol' Biometric Puzzle

[ms514 0]

Hello All:

I may have posted my wife's experience with Biometrics in the AOS phase. Basically, she had the Biometrics done twice and due to her magical fingers, the fingerprints were unreadable (getting an appointment was just as good, as the letter came after the biometrics appointment!!!). Then, we had real fun getting a police clearance certificate (you know, considering we were moving in a couple of days across the country, had no domestic government ID that the township would accept and were packing up the house all at the same time as this nonsense) -

Anyways, it was all done and over with until now. So, fast forward to the present. Of course, the whole Removing of Conditions will again incorporate the whole Biometrics process - my favorite. So does anyone have any tips on not "failing" this (you know...forcibly press harder on the machine...perhaps create a latex fingerprint mold and enhance the print... ), or should I simply prepare to YET AGAIN obtain police clearance certificates from all of the places that we have resided at. Also, if these are necessary, will this require obtaining one from the UK as well (the old one that was filed with them is probably invalid by now) as the U.S. cities?

I mean come on, imagine going to your AOS meeting and the first thing the Immigration officer requests is to see your wife's hands to see if you have fingerprints...

Hmmm...the question may have gotten buried in my storytime:

"So does anyone have any tips on not "failing" this (you know...forcibly press harder on the machine...perhaps create a latex fingerprint mold and enhance the print... ), or should I simply prepare to YET AGAIN obtain police clearance certificates from all of the places that we have resided at.

Somebody posted before that is similar to your problem and had to do fingerprints on paper not on the machine.Maybe you can do the same?When I did my biometrics I pressed my fingers so hard and the officer told me not to do it.Don't do any tricks with the fingers you might get screwed.I have no idea about the police clearance somebody might have an answer.Good luck.
