Last day of visa application help

Post by rajsingh04 » Sat Apr 30, 2016 6:13 pm

Hi all,
Can anyone please let me know is it ok to apply via post on the last day of application.
For example- last day of visa applied for ILR via royal mail 1st delivery after 12 (last post collection at 12) on saturday therefore document will deliver on tuesday rather monday.
please let me know will it be a problem or i'm just getting stresses for no reason.
Any suggestions/views would be highly appreciated.
Moderators please share any UKBA guidelines about apply timelines would be very helpful.
Many thanks

The date of posting will be taken as the date of application.

It's the rule for all visa applications submitted by post in the UK. For BC applications however, it will be the date the HO receives it, or if submitted through the NCS, it will be the date the application is presented at the NCS.
