Biometric Information For Study Visa USA

As of CURRENT cutoff date of September 2021, biometric information was not required for most study visa applicants to the United States. However, the U.S. government may require biometric information from visa applicants in certain circumstances, such as when additional security checks are necessary.

If biometric information is required, it typically involves the collection of fingerprints and a photograph. This information is used to verify the identity of the applicant and to conduct background checks.

If you are required to provide biometric information as part of your study visa application, the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country will provide you with instructions on when and where to provide this information.

It is recommended that you follow these instructions carefully and provide the required biometric information in a timely manner to avoid delays in processing your visa application.
