Agree, in fact i read news that CIC looking to revamp processes minimizing physical contacts. Though that's gonna take lot more time and surely not applicable for us, but given the current condition, removing biometrics restriction for approved candidates makes total sense. IMO one major problem is that Biometrics data are most likely used in Security check. In that case, devising a workaround likely be tricky..Its just a matter of time when they will remove the biometrics restrictions. Or do some workaround.
But if you see this is not a very old procedure, it was just brought a year back. so they were any how managing the security then also.
Thats what i am checking, it has been opened for many many countries and yet pending for India. And it's not that countries have ditched India coz VFS is opened for several countries including UK.
My AOR is 29th March. I received BIL/MEP on 12th June and then I got RPRF request on 25th June. Is it a good sign in my application?
Very encouraging news these are. My AOR 20 Mar, Biometrics pending as usual, RPRF request received on 29 Jun. Seems like things are moving for Mar AORs. Many Feb AORs also received RPRF request. Let's see...
RPRF = Request for Permanent Residence Fee. As learned from other threads, usually it's given once eligibility is recommended / passed..
