So today my hubby went for his second Biometrics for ROC. His first appointment was April 2015, but apparently because so much time had passed, they sent him a second appointment for today. While we were there he told the lady he hoped it wouldn't take so long this time. She looked at his appointment letter and said, "Oh, it's Code 1, they aren't collecting much information this time."

Sure enough, near the top right of the letter it says Code 1. I just looked as his appointment letter from April 2015 and it says Code 3.

Just thought that was interesting, and something I had not heard of before.
