| Has anyone who applied at the end of May received a biometrics letter yet? I do not see how a two month wait for a letter can be considered reasonable. And then it sounds like, best case, it takes another two months to get everything back after that. |

| I am sorry to report back that there is no sight of a biometric letter for me yet. Yes, I do agree that waiting for 2 months to get a letter is ridiculous but can only continue to wait... |

Yah, It has been a quick turnaround for me atleast. I received my BRP card today after arranging redelivery from DX. I should have received earlier in the week but was not at home when scheduled for delivery.
I wish all of you guys the best of luck and hope you all receive your docs and card soon.
Best wishes |

| That just happened so I don't have anything back yet. It sounds like people have gotten everything back 2 weeks to 3 months after biometrics, so it's hard to tell how long it will take. I've already missed a bunch of trips and have another coming up, too. I hope you get yours in time! |

Hey everyone, I need a bit of help.
My wallet was stolen with my BRP card back in January, but it wasn't until May that I got a valid application to the UKBA. Before opening my application, they sent me a letter saying that I had to immediately send them a new application (which they already had) and do my biometrics, so I did my biometrics. They woman who took my biometrics told me that they must have a valid application on file, or else she wouldn't be able to submit the biometrics. That was Monday 28 May, exactly 10 weeks ago.
Today I got a letter dated 31 July telling me that I have 15 days to enroll my biometrics.
I don't even have words. I have no idea what to do now. It's been TEN WEEKS since I did this, and now they're telling me to do it again? I've been fired from two jobs for not having this stupid card, and now they're telling me that the process restarts??
Does anyone know what to do in a situation like this?? I don't know who to call or anything.
Thanks everyone. |

| Is it true that documents are sent to applicants via the DX, we had a card through our letter box saying re signed letter. Do you guys get back the docs via THE DX too. We are still waiting on BRP replacement card after 3 months |

The documents come back through Royal Mail recorded signed for delivery and the card comes through DX.
JulieB - It seems like there should be a way for you to contact them and let them know, but the complaints email address and going through an MP are the only ways I've gotten any response. |

When you did your biometric in May, did you get the biometric letter with bar code on? If not, I guess the letter telling you to apply and do biometric immediately was the one automatically sent out for people who is due to the 3 months limit.

| Hi, My BRP card was stolen in france 3 weeks back and I have applied for Replacement BRP visa to get back to UK and am still waiting. I am not even sure if I would get the visa by this week. in such case, could I ask my MP to write a letter to UKBA? will that work for UK embassy in france? |

It did not have a barcode, but I had already submitted a new, valid application. I made an appointment online and went to Liverpool where they told me there that "if there wasn't a valid application, we wouldn't be able to submit your biometrics. There must be a valid application because we can submit them."
I just got an email off my MP about this. The UKBA is now saying that my previous biometrics were for a rejected application. .... NOPE. They definitely were for the valid one that's on file. Because of all this, I've been fired twice, so I can't even afford to go get this done. I am at a loss of words right now for the incompetency of this agency. |
