My Biometrics Are Expiring In A Week and My Visa is Still Being Processed

[idkwhattodoanymore]

Hello,

I applied in mid-April, with an expected decision to come in 30 days. I applied overseas for a visit visa.

Now when I applied, I made sure to pay to do my biometrics again, as they were expiring in mid-June 2026.

I received a BIL the following morning, however the next day, the system marked my biometrics complete as they reused my old ones which expire in June.

I sent countless webforms, all I get is a bunch of links about how to do biometrics, nothing to help me address this situation about letting me do my biometrics again as I cannot show to a VAC if the biometrics are marked as complete.

I thought if they process my application in time, I would be able to receive my passport and leave before my biometrics expire.

Well it has been over 30 days, and recently my application has said to be going under eligibility review.

What’s going to happen now? If they issue me a Passport Submission Request there is no way I will get my passport back in time before my biometrics expire and for me to arrange a flight.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know who to contact. Is this even a problem for me to worry about? I just don’t get it.

Were you told to get biometric as soon as you apply?

Yes, but the next day it just said “Completed” and showed my old biometrics
