Query about the biometric appointment

[rajsingh1710]

If anyone can help me with this.

My wife and I have applied for SP and SOWP. We were able to book the appointment for my wife since she has applied for the SP but what about me? Will they proceed further? Or will I have to wait until SOWP biometric slots are open?

You'll have to wait, unfortunately. But, if you can travel to Nepal via road/air (after the border reopens on 15th Dec), then I think you may give your biometrics there as no such restrictions are imposed on their VACs. And better to confirm with VFS before getting an appointment there.

And I say Nepal because it's cheaper than going to UAE, Sri Lanka or any other country.

Okay, thank you for the response. I think I will wait until they announce it in India. Hope they do it soon.

Okay, I have an update on this. And it is a little weird:

When I enter my application number (applied for SOWP) for booking the appointment now it shows: "We already have a request (s) created for the above Application Number(s) What does that mean? I never got a chance to apply for biometric for my application. It always showed you're not eligible still.

I only got the reference for my wife's SP biometric appointment.

It's probably a glitch. BTW does your application number start with an "F"?
