Hi, We have applied online, and we already have ref. number: PEX XXX XXX XXXX. HMPO sent the email to book the interview: The email text was following: Dear XXX, Application reference: PEX XXX XXX XXXX You need to complete a routine passport interview. As a first-time applicant, we can’t print your ...

In our case, the interview was fixed after 5 days, that was the first available date. I hope this will help you a little bit.

Hi,
We got the same message 15 days ago. Nobody picked up the phone, therefore, we have emailed them, and just within 24 hours, received a phone call from PortsmouthCSN to book an interview (during this call, an interview was booked).
I hope this helps you as well.

My documents were delivered on the 16th of March by royal mail, and today (on the 4th of April) were received by HMPO Bootle (after 18 days).

No, we are still waiting.

We have received the same message/email for our daughter. We have filled in card details along with our signature and returned the form as a PDF file attached with the same email as a reply. We had sent it yesterday and £80 is taken from the account today.

Hi,
I have same problem on my passport. But I never get any problem. I am also on Tier2. I had put XXX in the surname column. But make sure, you should have same thing in your COS. While putting XXX in COS, my sponsor put a note that I have no surname.
Good luck..

Hi,
You should have asked your employer to draft a new CoS for 3 years. Tier 2 extension will be given on the basis of your CoS. If, it is for two years, then you will get extension for two years only.

Received reply from UKVI Online Help centre, and they were of no help at all. This is an obvious glitch in the online application, and needs to be sorted, but no one seems to have any idea that this is occurring and how to rectify the situation from the UKVI side of things. Really frustrating… I am...

Hi, Do not worry about it. I had applied Tier2 visa two years back along with my wife (out of country). Both of our passport do not have any surname. When we applied (online application), we put XXX in place of surname, and there was no issue to get visa stamped. I am travelling for last ten years w...
