Gosia don’t worry about the passport. I did attend my national insurance number without it as well . All I had is a certified copy from the home office where they scanned my first page and print it then stamped and signed that : this is a certified copy of the passport ******** and they put Ref Numb...

Do not worry Gosia. Because you received the biometric letter that means that your application was accepted for further step for the final decision . It won’t take time as many applicants I know got their BRP within three months. Wish you all the best

PrettyWoman how are you ! Did you secure your job and got your national insurance number ?

No worries sandy. Look what I advise you to do . Send an official email to your solicitor and copy his/her superior and the person he asked you to contact during his absence . And tell them that you’ll report them to the Legal Ombudsman and you are ready to go as far as it takes. Don’t be shy and do...

Hello Sandy. Thanks for joining us on this forum. Regarding your payment. I would advise you to send a post that includes the refusal letter you received and a bank statement showing that money was taken from your account and a third letter requesting a refund where you have to state your full name ...

Thanks for your reply. We received an email today saying that the home office received my application and it’s been considered under a case ID:***********.
I hope you’ll get your residence card very soon . And don’t hesitate to ask if you have any other inquiries ok ! Keep in touch pretttwoman

My pleasure . You can even start your work while waiting for your NAtional insurance number to be created . Let your employer knows that you’ve applied for one so you can secure your new job.
How long it took you to receive the biometric letter please ?

That’s amazing. I think your employer can even call the home office to ensure that you’re eligible to work . That’s what they explained to me over the phone. And once you get hired if you don’t have a bank account Unser your name you can fill the form with any bank details as long as the account num...

Oh that’s very good news I’m so happy for you . Sorry for my latest reply I didn’t see yours it was on the second page of this discussion.

I’m still waiting to receive the latest bank statement of my wife before reapplying again.

I’m so happy for you .

Hello lady ! Hope you’re doing well !
I didn’t get the refund yet cause they said it will take a while .

Any update from you. Did you receive the biometric enrollment? I hope your case moved forward

True ! The application was not processed so there was no case ID neither a case worker . I assume there’s no connection Between Durham and Liverpool as the first one just receive application and process the payment while the second one in Liverpool make the decision . It happened for a reason and I’...

That’s what I’m willing to do to have a refund . The payment is taken but still on pending on the bank statement . Once it’s clear that the transaction is completed I’ll include it on the letter . I’m not worry about the refund as it’s clear I’ll receive it . I’m just worry about who’s gonna work on...

Here’s a bad news . I received a letter issued on the 26th of June saying that The application was rejected due to a payment failure. And the payment was taken on the 27th from my wife cards . Now I’ve to reapply again and send it fresh and complain about the fees they did take after rejecting . I t...

Honestly god knows how it will end . I’m an overstayer who got married to an EU citizen at a UK registry office and have a daughter born in London. I just hope it will goes well and quick . Stay in touch . Cheers

Thanks for your reply PrettyWoman.as I said on Monday I’ve sent them a post letter which includes the updated payment form and an explanation letter regarding the payment delay and this morning “Wednesday “ the payment was finally taken from the debit card . I’ll keep updating my process so others w...
