Asked to redo biometrics -Rabat

[astrosal]

My wife completed her biometrics in March 2020. Last week they asked her for proof of recent contact, new police certificate (because they are only valid for 3 months) and new biometrics. I was surprised that they asked her for biometrics since she already completed her biometrics in March and was given a biometrics enrollment number.

They did not give us a clear answer when we asked them why did we have to do another biometrics. They simply said that they could not find her biometrics file which does not make any sense because we showed them the biometrics number for March 2020, which is of course valid for 10 years.

I have two questions:

1. Will there be a delay in her application because if the new biometrics number with a later date?
2. What possible reasons are there to redo biometrics?

Thanks in advance!

There may be a problem with the fingerprints. Some people have difficulty getting a good reading. You shoule clarify if they are lost or whether there was a problem when they took the fingerprints. Not sure if the Rabat VFS ia open. If it is open and if you can get an appointment there shouldn't be additional wait times over and above dealays due to covid

Thank you for responding. She completed her second biometrics 26 Oct 2020, so yes, Rabat VO is currently open. They gave her 2 different answers: that they could not find her biometrics and that they could not get a good reading.

I am wondering if there will be any major delays with her application because of completing the biometrics a second time? Does it reset the clock to an earlier date?

Hi did you get any update about your wife's application ? Did you experience any delay because of doing the biometrics second time?

Hello! Yes there was a delay, but she had her interview in May 2021 and had to do her medical again because it was passed 1 year.

@astrosal will you kindly provide any advice regards the interview? Hopefully it went well and if there’s something you can share about to help us I’d appreciate it …
