Guy, I found this on the FB group.
Dunno what this means:

"Dear All.
I have applied for PR under spousal category in March'13. My file was received in NEw Delhi Office in April'13. and my passport was asked in May'13. Since then my passport is with them. My status in "application status" is IN PROGRESS.
Yesterday i was called for finger print scanning at the New Delhi Embassy. When i asked what was the reason for this i wasnt given any answer. I requested them to allow me to meet an official so that i can discuss my case file with him/her. I was denied.
Is fingerprint scanning a regular affair for the Embassy? How does it affect the processing of my file."]
