IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? U.K. authorities are dealing with a biometric data processing backlog. Delays appear to be limited to New York City and Sheffield, England.
What does the change mean? Foreign nationals who recently had biometrics taken for U.K. visas in the locations above may have to wait longer than anticipated for visas.
Background: The backlog resulted from a system outage earlier this week in the U.K. Foreign nationals who had biometric appointments this week in New York or Sheffield should note that processing may take longer than normal.
BAL Analysis: BAL continues to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
