What a relief after spending quite stressful days... Thank you all for sharing information. And especially huge thanks to sheford for your effort on summarising information. It has been very useful and helps me to understand the situation.
Wish the best luck for all of you!

I'm wondering if I ought to involve my MP? Do you reckon that might make a difference?
Congratulations Sherford!kaus1 wrote:Hi peoplesheford wrote:Fellow June Applicants,
Just called UKBA and the lady said me that they have send the package yesterday!..
@Sajnacs
Better you call today and check with UKBA!
I really think there are so many incompetent people in UKBA at this moment. Because the thing is how this lady said the package was sent yesterday when yesterday was Sunday and UKBA is closed on Sundays.
I do agree with you but sometimes stuffs that they say don't adds up. By the way do you know how long they will be on holiday?Captainfantastic wrote:kaus1 wrote:Hi peoplesheford wrote:Fellow June Applicants,

@Kaus1I am astonished at your disbelief![]()
. It is just possible that the UKBA (NOTE everyone, it is the UKBA which deal with the applications, NOT the Home Office, although admittedly the HO is ultimately responsible for the UKBA!) actually provided overtime for weekend working, given that they will be on holiday soon you never know!

You don't pay anything for the Biometric Card per se. You pay for the application process, depending on which way you submit it - postal, premier or in person. Each application fee is different in ascending order from Postal (£991) to Personal (I think that is £1,355). For the first 2, you pay an extra £19.20 to have your Biometric details (photo, fingerprints and signature) taken at the Post Office. Prices are current for 2012, but I've no doubt they will increase next year!

Thanks be to god, i have just received my BRP right now, delivered by some guy on a bike, a bit strange as i applied through a lawyer and was expecting the BRP to be delivered to the lawyer. Still waiting for the docs + passports to be returned but i am thankful, none the less.
Thanks to everyone on this forum, it's been emotional to say the least. To those waiting still waiting, i would say please just hang on, do not waste your time and worry too much, as the UKBA is unlikely to change it's ways unless if hundreds of us complained.
I started the set o thread for june applicant's so i will update my timeline there and sign off. God bless and good luck to everyone waiting.

hey, i think 3 mobile customer care is bettersugadev wrote:Good luck to everyone who are waiting. I called UKBA to find out about my biometric invitation today. Strangely a guy who picked up asked me to wait for couple of minutes and told me that he sent a request to send my biometric invitation. Yesterday when I called them, a lady told me that I have to wait for few more days and it is too early for me to get the biometric. last week I was informed that Oct SET(O) applicants are unlikely to receive their biometric invitation before new year. What the hell.... This is worse than 3 mobile phone customer care. Just hope that my first lap (biometric registration) is complete before newyear. Very silly from UKBA.

I received the biometric invitation letter today dated 18.12.12. Surprisingly thats the day I spoke to one of the sensible men in UKBA and was told that he has requested the biometric invitation letter for me. WOW... not everyone in UKBA are inefficient and arrogant fools.sugadev wrote:Good luck to everyone who are waiting. I called UKBA to find out about my biometric invitation today.
