Hello members,
As the title suggests, I made an application for a Skilled worker (employer sponsored) visa from within the UK on the 9th of August 2021. I am on a PBS dependant visa that is valid until the end of 2024, however my employer had offered to sponsor my visa and hence I made a fresh application from within the UK.
As per standard process I cleared the IELTS exam, filled the application, paid the fees, paid the IHS, booked an appointment and submitted my application at the centre along with biometric data. It's been close to 4 months and I had not heard from them until a couple of weeks ago and also there seems to be no way to escalate or follow up on the case. On the 1st of November however, I received a notice from the Home office to advise that they haven't received my Biometric data yet and hence my application is incomplete. It also says that if I don't arrange for the biometrics to be collected within the next 63 days, the application would automatically get cancelled. I promptly replied to the email providing evidence of my biometric submission appointment and the acknowledgement I had received on the day of the appointment. In addition I also contacted the local Biometric centre in Peterborough (Regus), St John’s Street Stuart House, East Wing PE1 5DD and they have reconfirmed that the biometric data was indeed submitted.
I haven't had a response yet to my email to the Home office or to the chaser. The phone numbers lead to employees who can only give you generic information and nothing case specific. Could someone advise please?
Kind Regards
Venky
