Will i be denied entry to the USA becuse of a cut in my finger?

Question

some one told me that if your finger is cut you cannot enter the US becuse they require that fingerprint will be taken is that true?

i am a british citizen entering throgh the visa waiver program.

cheers

Answer 1

That seems kinda far fetched.  I don't believe it is the truth.

Answer 2

As long as you have proper documentation, you are ok.  A cut on your finger doesn't mean anything.

Answer 3

You have 9 other fingers to chose from!

Answer 4

No, that will be discrimination to the disabled (that's what you can claim)

You will need to tell them to fingerprint another thumb or all remaining fingers of yours. How do they do your fingerprint in Britain. They can and should do it the same way.

Answer 5

Um...having a cut finger won't matter in the prints. If they need to match them, there will still be enough.

Answer 6

No,that's not true.

Answer 7

lol thats not true

Answer 8

uh, no. u could still enter.

Answer 9

Total BS!

Answer 10

That is most definately not true.  I talk about this kind of stuff in my blog all the time.

Answer 11

It depends on whether or not the cut interferes with the taking of your fingerprints.  If it does, no entry.  If not, no problem.

Answer 12

like cut off? you can still take fingerprints with a cut on your finger.

Answer 13

Well it depends on what finger it is.  If it's the middle finger then you probably will be denied entry because Americans are accustomed to wave with it on a daily basis, especially during rush hour traffic.

Answer 14

you have 9 other fingers they can print
