7. Date of biometrics enrolment - 13th January 2012
8. Date passport / BRP received - BRP on 9th February (redelivered on 10th February), Passport on 10th February

** NOTE I received a letter on 30th December 2011 dated the 28th December that requested I re-send my passport photos as they were not of good enough quality (I suspected this when i posted my original application and should have trusted my gut instinct). I posted the photos the next day and they were delivered to the Sheffield office on Tuesday 3rd January 2012. It then took until today (12th January) for me to get my biometric invitation letter.

Unfortunately I am supposed to be travelling back to Australia on 3rd February for a friend's wedding and I am certainly not confident I will have my Passport and BRP back by then

My advise to anyone reading this and thinking of posting there application would be to take the hit and do it in person!!

I guess my BRP is all sorted because of the DX card, so i'm assuming I should get my new visa and passport in the next few days.

I need to travel back to NZ on the 4th of Feb so fingers crossed...
