Thank you for the question.
As a rule, it's important that biometrics are done and are used as something to confirm identity. It's important that this happens before people come to the country. We use this as a security feature.
However, we understand well the frustrations, because many of our visa application centres have been closed. I'm happy to say that most of them have reopened. This week has been important. Visa application centres in India reopened this week. This is a big deal. There will be two priorities in India, one for students and the other for family. We will be able to work through the biometrics in India for those two in our visa application centres so that we can complete those applications.
