Hi I have submitted my application for ILR recently and used my home address as the correspondence address. I live away at the other end of the country from home but has been notified my biometric notification letter has arrived. I didn't realise I will be asked to resubmit my biometric information as I have already done so in my Tier 1 application!

Bearing in mind the deadline, I was wondering if I can get my family to scan and email me the letter so I can bring a copy to the post office with me rather then asking for it to be forwarded to me and having to wait for it to arrive in the mail. I am also paranoid It may get lost in the post!

As it has been a few years since I first applied for biometric, I can't really remember the process. Do the post office guys require the original letter? Do they keep it after the process.

Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thanks

You need original letter.

Get them to send you via special delivery that you should have it next day as you would need an original letter to have your biometrics taken at post office.

Post office needs the original letter and in your case I would advise you to take advise given above using the special delivery service. And just for your information UKBA gives applicant 15 days to enrol Biometrics from the date of the letter
Hope this helps
