Hi guys
I did my biometric on 21st feb 2012. Still no reply from UKBA?
On web site it says,"We are currently considering applications where the applicant attended a biometric appointment on or before 12 March 2012."
Any one received passport or BRP who attended biometric after 21st feb?
Many thanks in advance

Anyone else in this timeline have received their passport and/or BRP?

I did biometrics on 23rd Feb and I send a royal mail special delivery envelope with my application and made a note of the tracking number. Now on the royal mail website it is saying my package is on its way and should be delivered this morning - so i'm just hoping and praying all processed fine.

Withdrawing your application will create lot of problem for you in future particularly when if your visa is already expired. I suggest you to send a FAX or letter to the immigration officer in sheffield. You can get the address or the fax from the help desk.
I did my biometric on 29th Feb and had real emergency to travel to my country. I had sent 4 Fax and i received my passport last monday.

I just got the letter requesting to attend biometrics. I have already done it on 22nd of Feb. Is this normal to get the request again?, should i contact someone and say mine is already done?

My situation got more weird. I received one more biometric invitation letter, though i had done my biometrics was done on 22nd Feb. Law firm which represents me have sent the letter back to UKBA, but i have asked them to pull my application back as i need to travel immediately and might not return to UK soon.

Not sure, i called UKBA helpline and they said send it back to UKBA telling you had already done biometrics. I reported the same to my law firm and they said they will take care of it.
Its been a nightmare i tell you!
