I have applied for me and for my daughter who is of 12years old. I have booked my daughters India trip from 27th of June for 2 months. But as per new changes from April 2015, biometric enrolment is required. Not sure whether its good idea to postpone my daughters India trip or call home office . Any suggestions?

if naturalization is important to you than indian trip, then you need to cancel India trip, as once UKVI sent you biometric enrollment letter, you need to enroll your biometrics within 15 days (from date of posting mentioned on letter). With current processing times from people's updates, do expect your enrollment around 1st week of July. good luck

Else request for return of documents online.. See link below
