Perhaps not the right place to vent my frustration but...
My wife has to get fingerprinted again even though the IRCC has her biometrics results from last year's (failed) attempt to get a TRV. This is nothing we didn't expect, it was pretty clear that we'd have to take them again but it's still pretty annoying. Is there any reasoning behind having to get new ones, perhaps some justification I didn't think about? This seems really unreasonable, especially since my wife has to, just like last year, take a day off work to fly to Moscow and back, for $300, >10 hour round trip including two 4-hour flights.
