Hi sb92 Two weeks back, one of my friends expedited the application by faxing to UKBA Sheffield. He got biometric cards within a week of sending fax. You may try sending supporting doc along with signed request letter to UKBA, no need to put any expedite by X date. I also expedited my application an...

My application has been approved. Today i got approval letter and documents. Biometric card is yet to be delievered. I recieved biometric letter on last thursday (11 Oct) and completed biometrics on the same day. Next day (12 Oct),i faxed UKBA request to expedite along with death certificate (Fax No...

today i again went to sheffield peo and requested to withdraw the 'decision or expedite form" i submitted. They gave me this form back. Now i have asked local MP secretary to recommend my case to UKBA.

I think i made a big blunder h.ere - i do not think one can work if one applies after expiry for tier -1 extension In my case, if my application is withdrawn in the event decision can not be made by 19 Oct 12 then i would be able to apply for extension but i do not think i can work. The re-apply aft...

No, i was told that the application has not reached that stage yet so i can not give biometrics on the spot.

Hi tier-1 Can you please give more details about what you did for expedite your case. I want to know what exactly your MP did. I got following reply upon dropping email to MP and i am going to speak them further on tomorrow so your inputs will help me pointing to them what they can do. I have alread...

i browsed through posts on this site and found that additional documents are sent to Sheffield only and solicitor also told me the same and advised to go personally to Sheffield PEO instead of sending letter so i went there so it was a bit of gamble but i thought worth taking it. I went to general e...

Thanks sushdmehta. A solicitor advised to personally go to Sheffield office and request for same day processing and if not then request for processing on priority. I am likely to do so. Will carry supporting docs.

i spoke to couple of solicitors - they say PEO appointment not possible with expired visa and withdrawing application takes a week atleast.

So expediting is the only option left

Anyone knows what to do to expedite.

Or anyone think that withdrawing application and trying for personal appointment is a better option ?

Considering my visa expires on 10 Oct 12, withdrawing application means i would be applying after expiry...is that possible ?

Hi All Please suggest the best option for me here. Due to a sudden demise in family, i have to travel urgently to India but my tier 1 extension is under processing. My visa expired on 10th Oct 12 so i cannot withdraw application as it means i can not have my tier 1 extension ever then. So only way i...
