Does the Principal Asylum Applicant Need to Attend Family Members’ Biometric Appointments?
No, the principal asylum applicant does not need to be present when other family members attend their biometric appointments. Each family member’s biometric appointment is separate and does not require the main applicant’s presence.
1. Additional Insights
Option to Attend Together:
- Many families have successfully completed all biometrics on the earliest scheduled appointment date by going to the Application Support Center (ASC) together and requesting that all biometrics be taken at the same time.
- While this is not guaranteed, ASCs often accommodate such requests depending on availability.
Separate Appointments Still Work:
- If attending together is not feasible, each family member can attend their individual appointment as scheduled without needing the main applicant to accompany them.
2. Actionable Advice
- If you want to attempt to complete biometrics together, visit the ASC on the first scheduled appointment day and explain your situation to the staff.
- Ensure each family member brings their biometric appointment notice, identification, and any required documents to their individual appointments.

Conclusion
The principal asylum applicant is not required to attend family members’ biometric appointments. Each individual has their own appointment, but families can attempt to complete biometrics together at the ASC. Ensure all necessary documents are brought to the appointment to avoid delays.
