How long does it usually take after Biometric to get further

Post by harishps » Mon May 24, 2010 3:50 pm

Hi,

I have given my Biometric on 4 th May. How long should I wait for furher info.
The UKBA says until 14 weeks they will refuse to comment anything at all about case.

I have not got intimation for the the last 20 days.
Is it unusual for this long period? My friend took bio 4 days later than I already got the ICFN 2 days back.

Thanks,
Harish

Hi,

Generally in most of the cases that i have known it took around 13-17 working days from the date when you enrolled your biometrics, so you should be getting your documents back sometime in this week. that is just my general observation though!! cant say for sure.

Thanks,

Some cases are decided pretty quick. However, I have overheard the UKBA official at Croydon PEO telling a candidate who had finished his biometrics that day that it can take up to 4 weeks for the ICFN to be issued.

I got it actually it was sent in 2 weeks after I biometric and 10 days for decision to be made , I gave the office details but the office folks had difficulty locating my name and it was sent back. check if you missed any postal communications.

ukba called me eventually that my visa bounced back. They will certainly call you, in 2 weeks after bouncing back unless it was delivered to someone else
