The problem seems to be with centralizing the biometric data, not with individual embassies being able to capture it.

i think i ve lost the original arabic certifcate can you issue anothrr one!? Is the English transcript not enough?
I have it with me yes the arabic one with photo on it. my school didn't give me english version, after I gave her the new one she asked about the certificate I said to her they burn it as they do every 5 or more years she asked so how you enter the university? I told her with this and I gave her the arabic old certificate and she answered that's the one.
I don't know If I didn't have it what will be the situation, Luckily in the last moment I decided to take it with me. Remember she "the egyptian officer" has no right to decline or refuse she checks only your documents and tell the Consul and he has the final decision.
I have met with this silly Egyptian lady and asked me about the original Thanaweya 3amma which have my photo, but i had been graduated from the university from 19 years and i haven't taken it from my university, therefore i have applied for one from ministry of education , stamped, translated, notarized in ministry of foreign affairs as well. When this silly lady checked my documents, she was very ridiculous and talking by mean way that how i don't have the original one !! i told her lost in the university and she kept laughing and said first time to hear that..then she asked me about my University certificate, then i gave her my Faculty of Engineering certificate then she kept silent. I really controlled myself from shouting to her about her attitude but i controlled my self of course cause i was in the US embassy....but the American officer was more than nice..smiling, and just asked few questions in 30 sec..that's it.

Sam. Am in same situation. I lost the original certifcate but i have the one from ministry of education in addition i have a master degree in radiology. You think this will not affect my visa ?? As this lady might tell me that my documents are missing. I wonder why they dunt consider the english one issued from ministry of education as a subtitute Its still issued from ministry of education and its still original!!!
Tell her that you lost it in the university and show her the one you got plus your university certificate. That's more than enough...don't worry. Don't forget the military certificate as well no matter if u r exempted or not.

Did you also have to "control yourself from shouting to her" and only have that control because you were in the US embassy?
I think I'm a calm guy in these situations and I was knowing they are rude before I go so I was prepared and knowing she doesn't hold the final decision, by the way when I was waiting for my number she was loud on the microphone talking to the interviewed man and she told him wash your hands and come for the finger prints and we all was hearing LOL
