Thanks Greenie. I tried at Earls Court post office, where the lady operating the system was very supportive. She accepted a photo in which my kid's eyes weren't exactly focussed at the camera (Saying that you can’t expect a 15 month old child to know where the camera is!). Two points to note from my...

Hi All, I received invitation to submit biometrics for myself and dependants at post office. While I and my wife were fine, my 15 month old daughter kept moving her face, hence her photograph could not be taken. Post office guys told me that I should go to a PEO. I tried booking a PEO appointment fo...

Any answers please?

Sorry for the rush but this is urgent.

Many thanks.

Many thanks ILR_UK_, nnj10. Apologies for beating a dead horse but I did have a look at the guidance notes(http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/pbs/t1-general-guidance.pdf). Point 92 on page 17 says that "If an applicant is in salaried employment, (including a Director of a...

Hello, I have a query regarding income from dividends. For past earnings should I consider net dividends or gross dividends?

Hello, I am trying to check the availability of biometrics appointment at Croydon (with two dependents) and am not able to find any slot.

Sorry to hijack....I posted on 19th Jan. Even I have not received the Biometrics letter.

Hi All, Just want to confirm that certificate re-issue service is available for £14.40. It is not mentioned on the website and was not known to the call center staff. Based on the information I got from pyare_16, I sent a mail to them and they were able to re-issue the certificate in 4 days time. Th...

Thanks a lot.

And how many days will the biometrics email take to arrive?

Thanks MB243.

Sorry I did not provide complete information.
I had sent my Tier 1 extension application on 19th. It was received by the Home Office on 20th. Payment was debited yesterday.

Just wondering if I will get any acknowledgement mail? If yes by when?

Thanks.

Will I be receiving any acknowledgement email from home office or only acknowledgement letter?
If they send out an email, how long after taking payment do they send it?

Thanks.
