I received acknowledgement letter on 09/05/15, but no biometrics letter so far... I am not sure is it lost or I don't need one, I vaguely remember on the guidance I read that If I did one before I don't have to do it again, they will send me the old one until I got British passport, something like that, but I haven't saved the pdf of it, can anybody clarify on it, because I applied on 9th and only realised the form had changed when I try to print a page again on 07/04, I noticed Biometrics thing is the only difference and I went to the guidance and had a quick read of it.

Did you fill in the updated version or you used the old one ?
If you have applied after 6 april 2015 you had to use a new version of form AN ... pay the new fees and have to enroll biometrics again even if u have submitted previously with your applications .... you must have read the old guide aswell where it says u dont need to enroll ur biometrics...

Please, for the sake of the forum, could you inquire with your friend, and get details about her timeline? I know some of the early April applicants (like me) and late March, would love to see this to get an idea of when their approvals might be coming. Thanks

Hi Bukola1,

I used the NCS service at Camden (London) where they only took photocopies of my passport + RC + PR + MBA degree and its transcripts + current employer status letter and they sent the original LIUK test result with the new version AN application form to the home office at Liverpool.

I am not sure what you mean by asylum, overstay or illegal if you are EEA national or spouse of a EEA national.
