US: Biometrics Rule For Immigration Withdrawn

The US government under Biden’s administration decided to withdraw the proposed biometric rule from Trump’s era.

As per the proposed rule, any applicant, petitioner, sponsor, beneficiary, or individual filing or associated with an immigration benefit or request, including US citizens, must appear for biometrics collections, without regard to age. The US government now withdrew the same rule.

The US Department of Homeland Security said the withdrawal of the proposed rule was consistent with the EO signed by President Joe Biden. Instead, the DHS proposed to authorize biometric collection without regard to age, upon the arrest of an illegal immigrant.

Beginning May 17, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services will suspend biometrics requirements for H-4, L-2, and certain non-immigrant categories. However, the DHS said it will continue to require submission of biometrics where appropriate.
