Varying App. Tier1 Entre to ILR (LR) + time line + biometric letter

[jani1]

Dear All,

Can someone guide me regarding me regarding Varying Tier 1 Entre App. with Set (LR) application and its time line.

Kindly share your time line if possible.
I applied in last week of July 2018 and still did not receive any bio-metric letter. I received refund of my previous application in a post and date on the letter was 7th September 2018.

Is it possible....in case of varying your application you will not receive a bio-metric letter or you will get visa without new finger prints as already given in previous application, thanks.

Regards,
Cheema

Hi All,

Kindly someone guide me if you have any info. ....

Is it possible ?
(1)
If you vary your application (like I did my Tier 1 Entre with Set-LR) then you will get your ILR without going for finger prints or receiving a bio-metric letter from home office

or
(2)

If (bio-metric letter) finer prints are compulsory even if you vary your application then can you guide me how long home office is taking to bio metric letter for postal application, thanks.
