Tier2 Dependent visa-unable to book online appointment

[liewanne]

I have submitted dependant visa application on Feb7th for my baby girl, who is now 9months old. We need to fly back home to Kuala Lumpur on March 19th to attend a wedding.

Received the letter to book biometrics appointment for my baby on 23rd Feb. But unable to book online since yesterday. no number to call and book, cant do walk in in post office as she is under 6 years old.

I am worry and do not know what to do. Should I email the home office to return passport, while considering our application?

Please advise, thank you.

Biometric appointment via phone line is now open again for postal applications until online system is restored.
Get your appointment soon....

What is the phone number? Is it 0870 6067766. In the UKBA website, it said this "Do not phone this number to book a biometric appointment for a postal application in any other circumstances." Mine is a postal application, for my baby girl!

Been ringing this number but no answered for many hours!

Thank you for your help again Gupta. I just managed to book an appointment via the telephone at 920am (sun). The appointment is booked for 28th Feb at Liverpool..

Am wondering whether I will be able to get the passport back on time before our departure date on 19th March. It is only a dependent visa for my baby that I am applying for, very straight forward as baby is born in the UK, and I have submitted all the relevant documents with sufficient fund too. Let's hope and pray. I will keep all of you posted of the timeline. Thank you once again!

Has anyone has any idea how long it will take get passport return after biomentrics is taken?

@liewanne. Did you ask if you can go postoffice instead of attending PEO?

[aarnags]

Normally it takes 4-5 week after bio-metrics done.. i think for dependent only.. it may be quicker

[liewanne]

thank you, lets just hope (& pray hard) i will get the passport back on time...if not....we have no choice but to postpone and pay extra fees for change of dates on flight tickets
Cant think of any other alternatives..... stressful!

Cant do it in a post office as baby is only 9 months old!
