Fingerprint question in form SET(O)
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2012 6:49 pm
Hello,
Today I've had my application for Indefinite Leave to Remain returned to me for leaving out Questions 7 to 11 of "Section 10 - Biometric Residence Permits". Below is a link to the form for the sake of convenience:

Q7: "Have you had your fingerprints taken as part of a previous United Kingdom immigration application made in the United Kingdom or abroad? Y/N"
Q8: "Give details when your fingerprints were taken"
Q9: "Give details where your fingerprints were taken, including the town or city and country"
Q10: "Give details of the British diplomatic post(s) involved in the application(s) was/were made abroad"
Q11: "Do you have a medical or physical condition which may require special arrangements for your biometric features to be recorded? Y/N"
I did not answer these questions because I had already provided ALL information on my Biometric Residence Permit. It seemed to me like Q7-11 assumes that the applicant doesn't already have a Biometrics Permit. Unless I have misunderstood Question 7, I have not given my fingerprints for any other purpose but to create my Biometrics Permit hence why I ignored it in the first place. I entered the UK under a UK Ancestry Visa and the application process did not involve any fingerprints.
Have the Home Office made a mistake? Do I need to answer Yes or No to Question 7?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
