[equaliser 2000]

Monday afternoon fast approaching no one started any conversation today...

come on guys keep us posted about whats happening on Visa front.

I have been waiting fo my BRP card since the 29th of february. I sent a mail to BRPdelivery#. But only got only an automated message. I am gettinng out of mmy mind. everyone else have receive theirs. I applied since the 10th of january. Any ideas pls.

I can truly understand your frustration. I am also in the same fidgety situation. C from our side we have done everything and we just have to stick to that bcos nothing else can be done. We will get it. Did you try contacting the UKBA and ask them since you have applied in the early Jan. I did bio metrics on the 1 March and waiting for mine.

From what ppl have written Bio metrics done in the Post office usually takes 13-14 days. So just keep the faith.



all the best

I mean i already have the approval letter but i dont have the card. attended biometric onn the 13th of february and i got a letter saying that my aplication has been approved. I am so worried. does it matter if i dont get the brp card, but my a letter confirming approval? anyone with experience please help!!!

According to UKBA after u receive ur approval letter with in 10 days ur biometrics should reach if not u can email them. Check out the UKBA website under biometrics for further information.

I had my invitation today at 12:40. Got inside at 12:10 and was called for finger prints and stuff at 1:40ish... which barely took 5 mins and then waited again for more than an hour really for them to tell me that I can leave. So, friends I thankfully managed to travel in off-peak which is why I asked earlier about this timing.
Anyway, done with biometrics now and waiting for BRP and documents....

Graduation Ceremony tomorrow and joining a new job day after... QUITE a happening week for me...

[banalavamsi]

Congrats Lad All the best.

News Update From UKBA : We are currently considering applications where the applicant attended a biometric appointment on or before 28 February.

Guys.. finally my agony is almost over..i received my aproval letter with my passport and docs in 1st class royal mail post today..
my application timeline is as follows:
application filed:28thDec
acc. letter date:7th jan
biometric letter:2feb
biometrics given : 4th feb
Approval letter with docs: 12th March, 2012(letter dated 8th March)

My case might be a ray of hope for people whose visas have been delayed quite a lot.. as u can see it took more than a month after my biometrics but finally recived the aproval letter.. although i am still waiting my BRP card.. they said in the letter that i should get it within the next 5 working days.. hopefullu i should have it soon as well

Good luck to al in their endevours..

Thanks fr sharing all ur experiences and cases.. was great healp and moral support

[htcsensation]

Guys..
also.. for those who havent heard abnything after giving ur biometrics..here's something that u can do.:
Check this link: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A ... =OAQGn0N3Y and Mail: BRPDelivery@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk ur details of application and ask for contact details of ur case worker.. yes ur case worker..

reply frm this mail will not tell u any status of ur application since they only deal with delivery issues of BRP but they can provide u with the name and postal contact of ur case worker (the individual person working on ur case).. and u can contact him/her in writing.. i dunno if thats advisable or not..but u can if u want to..

i hope this helps

Hi banalavamsi,
What is the visa date on your new visa. Is it the application date or somewhere in the middle, i.e., when it was processed. Thanks in advance for your reply.

My case should give confidence, to whoever waiting for a long time.

Application sent by Special Delivery: 7th of December.

Application recieved by UKBA: 8th of December.

Biometrics Letter received: 24th of January ( Never got an acknowledgement letter, sent a letter and fax to the croydon office in the mid january, requesting acknowledgement and biometrics letter)

Biometrics given: 1st of february in Glasgow Office.

Called them in-between to know about the status, same answer" Wait for 6 months"

Approval letter received : 13th March ( Enclosed a special delivery envelope, i was able to track it online and found out they have sent out the documents )

Biometric card: Waiting.

Thanks for this forum, which was very helpful. Waiting is such a painful thing, and hope my case gives everyone a confidence.

Hope everyone gets it soon.

I GIVE MY BIOMETERICS ON 29TH FEB STILL WAITING FOR PASSPORT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. DOES ANY OTHER PERSON GIVE BIOMETERIC ON 29 FEB

[AK1441]

when i gave the biometric... the lady asked What will you do when u get the biometric..I said I will go back to my country immly ...
I think this is the reason they are delaying my VISA ..
they just want me to stay here and extinguish my finances ... before I go home

[zeeshanchowh]

I GAVE MY BIOMETERIC ON 29 FEB STILL WAITING FOR PASSPORT AND DOCUMENTS . JUST SICK AND TIRED , IT ALMOST 2 MONTH NOW.

Have you tried this and if yes, did you get the positive response? Were you able to track your application status? What if they find it annoying?
