Biometrics may be taken under virtual oversight
What the document says“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any Federal funds made available to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may be used for the collection and use of biometrics taken at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Application Support Center that is overseen virtually by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services personnel using appropriate technology.”
Section 403. Federal money available to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may be used to collect and use biometrics taken at an Application Support Center that agency staff oversee remotely with suitable technology, rather than in person.
What the document actually says“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any Federal funds made available to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may be used for the collection and use of biometrics taken at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Application Support Center that is overseen virtually by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services personnel using appropriate technology.”
The agency may take fingerprints and photos at its centers. Its staff may watch over that work from far away.
Biometrics means fingerprints, photos and the like. They are taken at a support center. Staff need not stand in the room.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
