@RAJBIS: Did you got your Biometric Done?

If not then here this...

The delay in sending Biometric letter is due to Bar Code issue (they have more than 1000 batch of barcodes which have issue and print is not getting generated) It happened to my Daughter's Bio Invitation letter and it went through for me and my wife though I have applied on 2nd Apr and I contacted them on regular basis via phone, emails. So UKBA has booked an appointment for Croydon, we went there and completed on 13th Apr. So, I will suggest to call them on their public enquiry number option 4 and then 1 and wait for 20 min in a queue.

Reason of calling and chasing them, as it worries me since we 3 people (incl families) applied by post on same day. Money got deducted on same day (4 may) and my biometric got delayed.

Hope this will trigger you to call them and book an appointment and this is the best option to visit here. This update of mine is not to make you worry but making you aware.

Hi Rajbis, ,in the same boat . not received biometrics letter yet .

@uktiervikki : thanks for the info but calling them on the public inquiry is of no help as they are asking to write to the address on the reference letter which is tier 1 general office.

Did they offer to book in appointment or you requested it

Guys,

I have given my bio metrics on the 27th June and for my dependant on the 10July (There was some problem with my dependants application, hence the delay).

As the UKBA home office stating that they are reviewing applications made on or before 16June, i am just wondering what will be the biometric date in my case, will it be considered as 27th June or 10July. Please pass on your thhouts based on your experience.

Many Thanks

Hi, did you have overseas earning? I think my case is the most complicated case in the world. It all depends on overseas earning.

Hi,

Mine is kind of peculiar case, I have applied with 1 dependant. I have given my biometrics on the 27th June and my dependant on the 10th July (as her initial biometric letter didn’t scan at the post office, so UKBA had to send one again).

So what would be the biometric date for my application Will it be 27th June or the 10th July? (need inputs from you guys as the case workers deal with applications based on the bio metric dates) How will the case worker look at it?

Also i need to travel on the 4th August sent a complaint email with my travel plans, but no response on that yet. Will they really consider these things?

Has any one experienced like this?

Many Thanks

Please put your Biometric done date in the reference number column.
It would make it easier to track applications. Whether u have been approved or not please do so.
