You are mistaken. The application is first lodged online or through mail. It is then that the UK embassy/consulate arranges for the applicant to come in to take biometric information and an eventual interview if there are doubts with respect to the authenticity of their identities or the legitimacy of their relationship.Pakhtoon wrote:You can't submit your application for entry clearence ( whatever type ) without going to the embassy in person. Once you are there, they won't accept your application unless you give your fingerscan i.e. its a part of the application.
So I suppose there is no question of them refusing visa on the basis of not providing biometric data since you would already have given it.
That's the petition of our dear member Richard66. I'm afraid nothing has changed since then. There was also a case against the UK listed but it disappeared from the register. Wonder what happened.Trent wrote:The EU says this is not required as previous cases have shown.
Understood. So what recourse do I have? Solvit? Anything else?86ti wrote:That's the petition of our dear member Richard66. I'm afraid nothing has changed since then.

The UK appears to be very adamant in this case so I wouldn't expect anything from Solvit. Still, I would think that a complaint should be filed, also directly to the EU Comission. Though, pessimistic as I am, I guess this won't get you anywhere in the near future if ever...Trent wrote:Understood. So what recourse do I have? Solvit?

Ok thanks. That makes things very clear. We will submit for fingerprints and file complaints at the same time.86ti wrote: The UK appears to be very adamant in this case so I wouldn't expect anything from Solvit.

Its not that I want to disagree with you but filling out the application online itself doesn't mean anything. You still have to print out the application form and submit it in the embassy in person alongwith supporting documents. This is how it is at least here in Warsaw.Trent wrote:You are mistaken.

Is it? Or does the fingerprint later show up in the police database? I think that is a reasonable question to ask, given that lots of confidential details were later found to be in the police database, or even lost on the circle line...Pakhtoon wrote:Personally I don't see any problem with it, after all its just to stop the abuse of visa system.
