what can happen at biometric appointment if I have a cut

[Cgcat63 0]

Hello,

I have a biometrics appointment on the 15 and I happen to have cut on one of my fingers so I am wondering what will happen. Do they take finger prints for all fingers? If I have a cut what can they do? Should I call to try and reschedule the biometrics appointment

Leave it to the officer at the biometrics appointment to decide, I suspect they will still take fingerprints, if the cut is healed enough, they only use ink if their fingerprint scanner does not read the fingers.

They scan all fingers.

Hard to say , but they were very picky about my fingers, asked to show them and looked for a while and asked about cuts.

Maybe I would reschedule, because I think biometrics is not something so main, that will influence your timeline so much.

I would go to the appointment and let them decide. If they don't take your fingerprints, they might give you a new appointment, but at least I'd try.

Yes, they were a lil picky, they cleaned my fingertips with some solution first and then my right ringfinger caused some issues because it had 54 matches..lol

Whenever the officer scanned it, there was a red warning message flash over the screen and tell him how many matches thre are to the finger.

Crazy.

I think he wasted 10 minutes just on that one finger before he had a good scan.

So yes, a cut might be bad, but then...is it THAT bad? If it is not an open wound anymore, try scarzone, that is a creme that helps to heal your skin.

I use it all the time for cuts and scrapes that are about to heal to make it heal faster.

You can get it at Walmart or any drugstore...

Good luck!

if you have applied for EAD as well then they will take all 10 fingerprints otherwise if you do applied for AOS only then they usually just take the fingerprints of the thumbs.

I've worked in catering for a few years so my hands are very scarred from all the cuts, for biometrics I had no cuts as I was not working, however at the embassy I had lots of cuts and an absolutely huge cut that changed the shape of my thumb, they were iffy about it but just took my prints alot of times for them to come up clearly because my hands maybe cut and scarred...but thats how they'll always be!
