Can list the documents you submited too?
My friend was told to visit the French Embassy tomorrow again for fingerprint, but i woder why the VFS did not give him tracking details? or is the French embassy that will give him tracking number and not the VFS?

Okay, Thanks. I will pray

Yes the tracking I'd will be a refrenec no text to his mobile phone, yes the biometric is so easy, just to scan ur finger and make picture f him, it will just take 5 minuts and its done, yess but last time I tracked it the status says my application is received by Consular from VFS, it must be that it has been returned because even on biomeric day I saw my application the counter with my passport because the guy who dis it look into my passport and confimed my name.
