9 FAM 303.7-5(B)(5) (U) Fingerprint Reuse
(CT:VISA-2033; 07-25-2024)
a. (U) Fingerprint Reuse in the NIV system is tied to Interview Waiver (IW) through the Previous Visa Check function, which searches for previous visas that qualify an applicant for IW. The fingerprints from these previous visas can then be reused. If fingerprint reuse is separate from IW, any fingerprints can be reused if they meet criteria (1), (2), and (3) below.
b. (U) The following are criteria for fingerprint reuse using the Previous Visa Check:
(1) (U) The applicant has had all ten fingerprints previously captured for a visa that was issued;
(2) (U) The visa that was issued has not been revoked;
(3) (U) The visa being applied for is F, H, J by applicants qualifying as a secondary or university students, professors, research scholars, short-term scholars, or specialists (“academic J visa applicants”), or non-blanket L, M, O, P, and Q, and the applicant was previously issued any class of visa, or for visa classes starting with B, the applicant was previously issued any visa starting with B;
(4) (U) The same name (or alias), date of birth, nationality, and place of birth are on both applications.
