Does this fingerprinting requirement affect citizens of countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program?
Visitors traveling to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which no longer includes Argentina, are not currently required to provide fingerprints. However, citizens of VWP countries who do apply for visas will also be subject to the fingerprinting requirement. Furthermore, beginning in October 2004, all VWP travelers will, like all other applicants for admission, also be fingerprinted upon arrival in the United States under the US-VISIT program.Q: Is fingerprinting also a requirement for immigrant visas? A: The fingerprinting requirement applies to both temporary (non-immigrant) and permanent (immigrant) visa applicants.
