sorry must’ve missed your message, yes now they require appointment to have the biometric done. Remember to bring all 3 pages of the biometric instruction, I know it sounds like an odd suggestion but I didn’t print out the 3rd page on that day just because I was being a smarty pants thought the last page was useless…but they do require to have all pages when going to the appointment!! Good thing was I came to my appointment early so I had time to print before my appointment expires..anyway the staff are very friendly I’m just not sure why the officer handling my appointment took 20ish minutes to finish haha
