VERY URGENT, NEED TO SEND DOCS TOMORROW

Post by kingbobby57 » Wed May 09, 2012 8:59 pm

Dear All,
I will be sending the Docs to UKBA by post tomorrow. My visa expires this saturday.

Planning to send the documents by Special Delivery to the address
UK Border Agency
Tier 1
PO Box 496
Durham
DH99 1WQ

My Question:
As this is a PO Box address mentioned above. I am worried that if I send with next day delivery, as there wont anyone to receive as this is PO Box and Post office guys will return the POST as there wont be anyone to sign it.

Please share your views what do I do.
Awaiting for your information.
Best regards,

You have to have your application arrive at the UKBA at 23:59 hours or before on the date of expiry. The date of the application depends on how the package is sent. If you send the package tomorrow it should arrive (99.5%) before the expiry date and time. The PO box is checked every business day and will be signed by somebody on the day. They would only return your package if you got the address incorrect.

If you send your application form and application fee by post, the date of application is the date of posting. This is decided by the postmark. If the postmark is illegible or missing, the date of postage is taken as being at least 1 day before it is received by us.

If you send your application form and application fee by courier, the date of application is the date when it is delivered to our payment handling service.

Still I am confused as they say date of post is considered if sent it from post.
So if I send it tomorrow with Special Delivery, with the address mentioned above... then will Post Office wait for someone to sign the delivery or Post Office guys will just deliver it and update it as delivered?

Do you have any other choice.

Send it by recorded/special next day 1 PM delivery. It will reach UKBA by 9-10 AM or even before that.
Some one called Jenkins will receive it and sign it.

Mine reached at 08:25 AM well before official time and still Mr. Jenkins signed and received it.

If you are sending it by post then it is the date of posting that is relevant, not when it is signed for by ukba. It does not have to be received before 2359 on the date of expiry as suggested above.

Nevertheless the post is signed for everyday as pointed out. It is not an unmanned PO box.
