application variation on new grounds: new biometrics or not?

[sagareva]

Hi folks, PLEASE anyone with experience of varying a PENDING application on new grounds -- eg pending tier 1 extension application to ILR - did you have to re-do biometrics at the time of variation?

[Obie]

Make the new application, inform the UKBA you are seeking to vary your application, and pay the fees difference. If there is a necessity to retake biometric, you will be informed of this.

well thank you for the very helpful suggestion, but i'd like to be informed right now by someone who actually has had experience with this

sagareva, I think you ought to show some respect. For further guidance see the guide (click) at page 36. If you want to demand immediate advice, pay for a legal advisor.

don't be ridiculous. the first comment was trolling -- that's all it was. it was trolling. so i responded appropriately.
esteemed member had nothing to contribute on the topic, and had no business commenting.

and i know this guidance by heart, you know very well it does not give an answer to my question.

Sagareva i think you will have to do as Obie suggested or keep on waiting for a response or pay for a solicitor and maybe be told the same thing that Obie told you.

Good luck in finding a reply to your query.

Obie was not 'trolling'. If you continue to disrespect a Moderator you'll be on -thin ice-. An apology wouldn't go a miss.

Hello,
Please ensure you pay the full fees for the new application instead of the difference.
I am currently waiting for a JR bcs I varied my application but paid the fee difference, the case worker sent the new application back as invalid after biometrics (abt 3 months after the in time application) to state i did not pay the complete fee for me and my dependant.Despite writing a cover note and resending, I got a refusal letter with no appeal as he is claiming i applied after my visa expired .........

when you put in another application they should ask you again which of the 2 applications u want them to threat. and you need to do the biometrics again for the new application.

hope this helps
