This is not electronically submitted to CBP. When you get to the desk, you scan the QR code and give the officer your passport. The information on the QR code is transferred to the CBP officer’s computer terminal. No photos are taken by the officer and you declare anything at that time. The Officer in Seattle basically stated the system on their end is not working properly. SFO, they did not even ask for the QR code and took your photo like the non MPC lines. So, that is why I ask.
According to the cbp.gov site, the information you enter via the MPC app is being submitted to CBP.
There is also a note that it is no longer necessary to show the QR code:
