I think the system makes you do if every time you go for stamping interview. Atleast it did for me, I did select have you been ten printed as yes and I still had to do biometric. Not required for Dropbox though

No, just once

Thanks. For some reason I remember doing it Everytime when I went for a visa stamp, maybe I was checking the wrong boxes somewhere. I will be careful this time.

Thanks folks I will factor in that time. I thought I wouldn't have to go for a stamping this time, but my ead hasn't arrived yet 😢 so now to factor in the visa stamping

Hey all - couple question for anyone working at PwC who has been successful in filing their green card under the EB1-C category.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
