Fingerprinting

[immihelp]

Dear Sir or Madam

I sincerely thanks you for putting up with such an informative website, where a person can navigate complex issues of immigration with ease!

I have a procedural question. Before July 2004 when US embassy started taking electronic fingerprint, what was the procedure of collecting fingerprints in order to issue immigrant visa. Were the prints taken at the time of interview or at the port of entry.

I will appreciate your response.

Thanks

Yes, that is right.

The fingerprints were collected at the port of entry.
