"Your action is required." after completing biometrics

[hazepas]

My father is the primary applicant while my mother is secondary. They both went for their biometrics at VFS Manila on Feb. 18, 2020. My mother's application shows that it's already "submitted" and the biometrics "completed." As for my father's application, it shows that "action is required" and there is no status regarding his biometrics. There is no new email sent either advising if there's any action required. Is it normal that my father's as the primary application will remain pending until a decision has been made? I assume that it should at least state that his biometrics is already completed.

Anybody experienced this? Thank you.

Yes, I am, after 10 days I have submitted I received a letter saying a should do my biometrics again as the first set had "poor result".

My parents got the approval only after 4 days after biometrics. Apparently, that part that says "action is required" was for their passport submission. I emailed VFS and the reply advised that they were awaiting for the passport to be submitted. Thank you for your reply!

Have they asked you to do biometrics again

Hi, yes when I applied, the first time I did it wasn't clear enough and I had to do it again...

Did they contacted you back that you have to do again or you asked them through webform.

I received a letter on my GCKey, one week after I did the first time.

I checked after a while on the below website to see if the second time was accepted:

Hi, its almost 14 days that i have given my biometrics. Still showing your action required. They didnt ask me to do again?
I have checked in the website that you told me, its showing valid over there. But not completed in the account.

I think mine was like this until I received the AIP (that was a pre approval last year because of the pandemic). It took few months to update, sorry it has been a long time, can't remember properly, but if it says it is valid, so I think it is all good. They take their time to update the status in the GC Keys, and it can vary from person to person, so don't worry! Good luck!
