Hey guyz.....Can anyone please explain the process of finger scanning at peo during an ilr appointment.The reason i am asking is coz my wife sustained wrist fracture
and she has got a plaster cast on her right hand(covering the palm of her hand but fingers and thumb sticking out).can anyone advice us if she can still go ahead for biometrics with the plaster or shall we have it removed a day before.
please reply
thanks

If the caseworker cannot be able to conduct finger scanning then you will be advised to book appoinment for future dates.

i was trying to find out if they just need the finger tips on the scanning screen or the whole hand including the palm spread across it.
thanks

Sorry to hear about your wife's condition. It is not the whole hand it is the palm only for Bio Metrics. Hope she could go through with the whole thing. Maxm. 5-10 Minutes. Good Luck with your ILR.

thanks for reply kevin,so its the palm actually they need across the screen,but as she has got plaster across the palm then we will need to have it removed,i was under the impression that they only need to scan the fingertips....can you please clarify n any advice pliz

That's the procedure. If it is really painful for your wife to go through with this,why not reschedule the PEO appointment.

its not about pain,although it is quite painful but she is willing to bear it .we are more concerned that if we need to remove the plaster or not.Her four fingers and thumb are completely out of the plaster but it runs across the palm.so if there is no need to place the palm(which is covered with plaster) on the screen,she will be alright.
Please suggest as this is very important for us.
thanks

Bio Metrics involves only scanning your fingers on the glass screen and taking a digital photograph of your face.Maxm. 5 minutes for the whole procedure. In any case, better take a letter from your GP as well,regarding your wife's condition.Trust everything goes well on the day.

So you mean it only involves placing only fingertips on the screen n not the palm,if that's the case then she will be fine.
Wt u reckon
