Biometric invitation received within 20 days? IMP!!!

Post by feel_love217 » Fri Mar 08, 2013 8:19 pm

Hello there

I have received a biometric invitation just after 20 days of submitting my
set( o)application under 10 year long residence! Isn't that weird?

I am not sure weather I should be happy about this or not? i am actually freaked out at home office super fast response!!

After reading other fellow members timeline I should have really received this invitation after waiting for minimum of 2 months!!!

NOW the dilemma is that should I treat this as a good news and presume that i will definitely going get ILR or home office sends biometric invitation to everyone regardless of refusal or granting of ILR.

I have always thought that they will not ask you biometric unless they want to grant visa?

Thanks and I would really appreciate members help.

all applications have to do biometric before a caseworker is assigned.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

The more you will think, the more confused you will get. Sit back and relax. No one can predict UKBA's course of actions.

Don't have high hopes that they are going to decide your case as soon as you do your bio=Metrics. Good in a way, at least one thing is out of the way.

I agree with Kevin there is no point in raising your hopes for early decision. If it comes early nothing like it but its better to be prepared for worse.
Thanks!

It entirely depends on individual staff as how quicker they start to process and finalize the application. Unless when you actually know the outcome of the application you can never guess anything. The best you can do is to always optimistic for better results. Good luck.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.
