Biometric residence card

Post by ellec13 » Thu Dec 22, 2011 3:47 pm

I am renewing my Tier 1 (general) visa in April 2012. When first applying for this visa, I completed biometric testing at the British Consulate in Australia but no biometric residence card was issued. Do I need to have the biometrics recorded again? Or do they have the data stored (ie fingerprints) and can issue the card automatically? Just trying to reduce the timeframe as much as possible.
Thank you

Sushdmehta - any chance you can make this one a sticky - seems to be coming up frequently?
