did you have to redo biometrics
tas smithOct 25, 2022
congratulations 🎊 👏
Ana G COct 25, 2022
No, I did biometrics in Nov 2021 but it just updated on Oct 14 2022. Less than 2 weeks before getting approved
tas smithOct 25, 2022
ok I did my biometrics July 2021 was wondering if am going to have to do it again I got notification saying my fingerprint was updated but it's from the apps tracker not on my status did yours updated on your status congratulations again
Ana G COct 25, 2022
The update says "biometrics were taken" and the the long explanation says "biometrics were applied to your case...." I saw many people getting approved after that update, overall when the update appears long time after biometrics were actually taken.
tas smithOct 25, 2022
ok thanks that's what I saw too
