Finding this a little hard to believe. 2 days from doing your bio you have had in the post your extension. English governmental departments dont work that fast even for millionaires.

If you look further at the time line it is even harder to believe.

the bio was done on a saturday and they posted on monday. they dont work saturday and sunday so everything would have to have been done on the monday

My wife received all her documents back today along with a letter granting her further leave to remain. (on the basis that we have a British born child)

She now has to send of her application form for a Biometric Residence Permit and that will be that.

So all in all from her application in December 2011 it has taken 13 months for her to granted further leave to remain.

@justice. It didn't actually say on the letter what type of visa it is. Just that she has been granted further leave to remain. I'm assuming it's gonna be some kind if family residence permit (i'll have to look into it). For how long it will be vaild for I don't know. Good luck with your's.
