Hi,

dont worry you should be fine..i submitted my application without Filling in the NI Number field and i had no problems at all and my application was approved. so relax and good luck.

Hi,

Generally in most of the cases that i have known it took around 13-17 working days from the date when you enrolled your biometrics, so you should be getting your documents back sometime in this week. that is just my general observation though!! cant say for sure.

@kumans1000 - yes i received it through royal mail.

@Timbob - the home office personnel is visiting our company in last week of this month...lets see how it goes! fingers crossed...

and by he way timbob how many years did you get your visa for?

Hey Timbo,
