Hi Ganta,

When did you apply ?

last week.

Hi guys,
hope you're all good.
I've just joined the forum but was reading posts here since September.Still not sure if my post will appear in the right place.
So, a little familiar with some of you.
I sent my application(set protection route) on the 20th of August and still waiting, no acknowledgment letter.

Hello tab0287,
Welcome. On basis of my limited knowledge and exposure, I could say according to the overall statistics that you could expect your biometric letter (which is also the acknowledgement letter) by the end of November. Though some got it much too earlier

hi festronaut, thak you for welcoming me in here.

I have checked the delivery status of my application through post office tracking service which confirmed that it was delivered the very next day, sadly I lost the post office receipt and it was only my proof of sending my paperwork in. Today I just hope they have it. What do you think about it?

Now I'm just waiting for their decision now.
Any good new from ur side? Hope all of us don't have to wait much longer
P.s I didn't get the acknowledge letter just the invitation to get biometric info done

Hello rukia888, Did you get the biometric request letter by registered post or by normal post?

Hi festronaut, sorry late reply. My biomerric didn't come with recorded delivery which I found really odd. Still waiting for their decision. Any good new from your side?

Good luck guys

If you send it with next day delivery then they should received it next day.

Hi everyone,
Today I received a biometric enrolment letter, it is dated 5 October. It says you have to do it in 15 working days. I hope it is not late.why it took them so long to send it. By the way it came by normal post

I'm happy for you. Hope u have already done with that.

Its ridiculous that they don't send the biometric letter in recorded delivery.

hi guys, hope you all doing good. I have sent my application in mid september and no answer till now, i am a bit worried. Congratulagion for those who got their ilr.

Hi all,
Finally my biometric turnned up on the 22/10 and dated 2/10. Thank God I managed to do it before the end of the 15 working day limit. BUT my wife biometric did not come so I called them and they told me it was sent same time as mine and could have gone missing. So now we are waiting for her. They told me up to 4 weeks it could take.

I hope this feedback useful.

Happy for you doodoo2012. Hopefully, you will receive ur wife's biometric soon. Check it with the local delivery centre (both current and previous address).

Welcome mirna. Don't worry for september application. It could come at any time (approximately 3 months, but some get it too early). Take it easy.

Thank you dude, I have checked nothing arrived here on the old address. I already called and after the usual waiting 30 mins, they said we will send new one out ... so loads of praying and fingers crossed.

Any Update Rukia?

hi all! Thankx frestonaut for ur reply.i am still waiting for the biometrics. You think the whole process take 3 months or the biometrics?

On average the whole process is taking 4 months and 2 weeks. For many, Biometrics is by 3 months (though some got it much more earlier. Hopefully, you will be among those lucky.

thx festronaut, so i have still time then, it's not even 2month yet since i applied for set. What about u , what r u waiting for, The biometric or the ilr?

Hello

I want update you about my case

I have submitted my application on 24 August 2012
UKBA have received my application on 28 August 2012
have received Biometric letter from UKBA on 12 October 2012
Gave my biometric details on 19 October 2012 to a post office

Important Information

for those of you who have been granted LLR Refugees Status on their first asylum application, you have to know that the Biometric post service is free of charge for you, that means you should not pay the fees which is around 19 pound, if how ever you did not receive the biometric invitation letter with the bar code and the post office have charged you because your letters were without bar code you are eligible for refund.

you just need to write a letter to the UKBA and attach the copy of the post office receipts and send them to the liverpool address, make sure to mention on your letter that you need that payments to be refunded back because the service was free of charge for you, and they will refund that money back to you.

Again I will strongly advice for those who are applying the ILR set protection to seek a legal adviser, because what I have learn t through this process is if you apply without getting a help from a legal expert than it may cause you a bit of delays, for example if you use a legal expert like the Law Center they will give you an official letter which will help you that your benefit will not stop or if you are working they will write you a letter explaining that you have a full right to work and claim any benefit while your decision is pending, and the most important thing about the legal experts is they will be an address for you for example if you move from your house you don't need to worry as every letter from the UKBA will paralytically will be posted both you and them that means you have second reserve chance and finally they may get bit respect.

thanks mshassan for ur update and about the information for the biometrics. I'd cost me around 60pounds( my kids & i)

Acknowledgement letter is what I expected but nothing has come sadly. But I have read most of the time they are not sending them. It would be good to get one, at least you know they are doing something with our applications, not sat under someone's desk for months full of dust and using them as a pad for his/her coffee cup ...

I know what you mean, they finger print us and everything. It sounded daft to me when I saw it on the form. Anyway from what I understood, if you gave them details of when and where your fingers (& toes ) prints taken they should be able to use them. From my research it seems that if they don't send you biometric thingy within 6 weeks from the application sent, it means almost likely they don't need it.

I keep my fingers crossed, pray all the time and think positive. Everyone confirmed to me it is just a routine thing nothing else.

Thank you, I hope you get your positive response soon too. Good luck

I will update this thread when I get response and I hope you do the same.

I hope other readers good as yourself and put input here of where they are and what is happening.

I see alot read the thread and did not write anything, unless you have different situation to the thread subject, guys please put your input here to help others who are just waiting for answers. Remember no one will know who you are and would mind your business, all what we want input please.

Thank you again Khus 9201 for your prompted response.
