Yes. Pls let us know how did the case worker acknowledge your request.

Website says 27th Feb. Have you guys received any of your passports

As per the timelines mentioned in the home office i was hoping to get the passport next week but now your reply made me worry more

I called up the help desk to ask for my documents to be sent back as my reason for the travel is very urgent. I was told that 75% of the application will be closed in 4 weeks time and they asked me to wait for one more week.

@John

I gave the biometric in Oxford post office on 29th Feb. The entire process was over in 30 mins including the time spent of queue.

Has anyone done the Biometric between 27th and 29th of Feb. Please post the timelines.

I had sent three FAX to home office explaining my situation (personal commitment) but have not received any update from them.

Hi,

Can you please bit elaborative. I am sorry I couldnt understand your point.

Hi, I got TIER 1 General visa valid from 2008 Oct to 2011 Oct but unfortunately I couldn't relocate to UK. I had been to UK three times inbetween using HSMP for my business visit and I didnt have any problem so far. Now I got an opportunity to relocate to UK via Intra company transfer. My questions ...

Indeed...but FYI VFS is telling that i can go for BV also provided i submit proper documents. is not it advisable to get the things cross checked twice when you are in trouble..

I dont want to take the excuse that this would be my second visit using TIER 1 general visa. As per the link provided by you i cannot have more than one visa in that case if i apply for BV then HSMP will be cancelled...correct?
