Last Date Of Biometrics

Post by rizarifpk123456 » Wed Sep 14, 2016 7:38 pm

Hi
I received a letter from HO to give my Biometerics. It was issued on 02/09/2016. According to letter i should give my biometrics in 15 working days from the date of this letter. So i am just a bit confused that when will be the last date to give biometrics. Will it be 30/09/16 or 03/10/2016?
As i want to give biometrics on the last day of the given period of 15 working days.
Thank you in advance.

More like 23. And if Saturdays are counted as working days then even earlier.

I agree with noajthan the 23/09/16. Unsure how you calculated 30/9 or 03/10. Wishful thinking perhaps?

It seems that in the Western world at least, Saturday and Sunday are not considered to be working days.

Thank you for your reply guys.
Yeah I calculated it excluding Saturday as it is not considered as working day.

Just out of interest why would you want to waiti til the last day to do the biometrics? What if the place you go to is out of action?

Because the OP is trying to 'buy time' so that he can vary his application to Set(LR). OP doesn't qualify for Tier 1 Ent extension because he hasn't invested funds.

My 10years complets on 03/10/2016. Currently i have put in an application for flr(fp). So yeah just to gain few days.
Technically I can put in an application now for set(lr) because of 28 days rule. But I just want to complete my full 10 years before applying for set(lr) and then varying the Application.
Any ideas?

I would recommend you vary your application to SET (LR) 1 day before last date of biometric or on the last date because you falls inside 28 days. Why are you waiting for completing full 10 years? Caseworker can refuse your FLR (FP) application within 5 days after biometric and your fee will be wasted.

Not advisable to get too creative; HO quite adept at closing down frivolous, vexatious applications.
With consequences on subsequent applications too.

Thank you guys for your valued opinion. I will try to make Set(lr) application in next week to be on the safe side.
