Biometrics Update For Existing US Visa

[rransi]

Hi,

My father-in-law has an existing valid US visa (B1) which was issued in Mumbai, India in 2010.
He plans to visit us again this summer. Someone in India mentioned that he needs to get the Biometrics information updated (fingerprints / digital photo etc) on his existing visa prior to US travel.

I have not heard of this before and I believe this is not true.

Can anyone provide some feedback on this?

Thanks.

If the visa is valid, upon arrival the CBP officer would take the fresh fingerprints and digital photo, unless a letter sent out from consulate asking specifically for this.
