Tier 2 General Processing Time 2013

Post by Rituyadav » Thu Apr 18, 2013 4:35 pm

Hello

Does anybody have any idea regarding the present UKBA Tier 2 General application processing time? Details of my application are as follows:

Date of application: 22 February 2013
Confirmation received: 15 March 2013
Biometrics given: 16 March 2013

Its been more than a month after my biometrics and almost 2 months for my application and I haven't received the decision yet? On UKBA website it is stated that they process 90 percent of the application within 4 weeks, so really worried now:(.

Thanks in advance

I did my biometry on 7th March and still waiting for approval. but there are people who have done their biometry on 8th, 15th and 16th of March and got their approval. So yours should be coming pretty soon unless you are one of those "lucky" people like me.

I ALSO CHECKED THE UKBA WEBSITE THE PROCESSING TIME OPTION HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM APPLY INSIDE UK SO A BIT WORRIED.

DETAILS:-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT LETTER RECEIVED - 25/03/2013
BIOMETRIC LETTER RECEIVED - 02/04/2013
BIOMETRIC SCAN DONE ON - 03/04/2013

THANK YOU

The UKBA really should have been more clear on that section of the website, as it confused me and my employers as well.

Generally speaking, the processing time is currently approximately 4 (to 5) weeks after registering biometrics, not after submitting the application.

I just switched from a Tier 4 to Tier 2 visa myself, and received my BRP one month to the day after submitting my biometrics. @dhavs, it seems you will be receiving one very soon.
