Processing Time after Bio-metric for Tier 1 Enterpernure

Post by abu054 » Mon Jan 28, 2013 10:11 pm

Dear All,

Just want to confirm that how long normally or on an average UKBA takes to process the application after having the Bio-metric enrollment done, if you guys can share your experiences???

As far i know and on the UKBA website they clearly mentioned that 90% of applications processed within the 4 weeks of time after attending the Bio-metric, is that true???

Waiting for your kind responses.

regards

Hi,

Ideally they should decide the application in 4 weeks in total but unfortunately that's not the case at present as people on this forum are still for the outcome for more than 6 months since they given biometric so roughly they are taking around 6 months to decide at present.

OP if you go to UKBA web-site it itells you exact processing times at the moment. Currently, they are considering application where applicant attended biometric appointment on or after 9th of October, so yes, its 3-4 month wait at present i guess.

4 weeks is guidance standards they aim at, but given the chaos at present, the standard may never be reached

Yes you are right the current delay about 4 months after biometric and take take good 4 to 8 weeks before they send you Biometric invitation letter .... but I must say so far I am very lucky below is time line of my case.

Applied :07/01/2013

Acknowledgement Letter Received : 14/01/2013 (Letter Dated: 10/01/2013)

Biometric Letter Received :26/01/2013

Biometric Given : 29/01/2013

Now the wait game start I am guess 5 to 6 months from now as people who given biometric in June / July they are still waiting for decisions so I don't expect any magic to happen.

A friend of mine applied mid of December still waiting for Biometric letter ... so I guess so far I am very lucky so let see from now what happen.

Normally they are taking about 5 or 6 months, you also consider what is mentioned on Ukba website they say we are considering applications where applicant has attended bio before 9 oct 12 I am not sure if they consider application after wards what they update on the site. Anyhow I hope we all get positive reply within appropriate time frame.
