Hello Everyone,

My wife has her visa interview at the London embassy, Aug 12, and we are curious about the biometrics situation. I was told by the NVC that biometrics happen after the interview? Does it happen before they take the passport for processing? Or after it is returned?

I'm unclear on how that is supposed to work. :huh:

Thank you!

Kelly and David

Okay now an explanation about my delete above. I somehow managed to answer another post in your thread, so deleted while I had time to edit. I didn't answer your thread because I am not sure what you are asking. My only experience with the term "biometrics" as related to immigration is the separate appointment at a local office in the US as part of my husband's K1 adjustment of status, removal of conditions, and citizenship applications where they snap a photo and take fingerprints.

They do scan fingerprints twice at an embassy interview, but it's not like those detailed type of fingerprinting they do at a USCIS biometric appointment. Read the reviews (found in menu bar) and you will find people who describe their interview day blow by blow including when their prints were scanned.
