Yes, my wife was in the EU line with me. We were thinking of making a complaint. Is there a specific regulation we should quote to make our point? Also, can we ask for my wife's fingerprint record to be removed from their database?Jambo wrote:Was this in the EU line? (I would be surprised if it was).
Did they ask British passport holders to do the same?
She should not be treated differently.
Has your wife ever previously had her fingerprints taken by UKBA as part of any of her applications?Marco 72 wrote:On 9 April my wife and I had another "interesting" experience at Heathrow. This time the immigration officer did not ask my wife - who has a PR sticker in her passport, as the wife of an EU citizen - for her landing card, and did not stamp her passport.
Howerver, the immigration officer asked my wife to put her index finger on the finger scanning machine. My wife complied, since we were both exhausted and didn't know the rules about finger scanning. However, it has since occurred to me that perhaps the officer may have been wrong, and she should not have taken my wife's fingerprint. Is this correct?
