Send it to the same address where you posted your application. It's best to post it.

Hi Guys, Just a quick update. I have now received my BRP this morning. After all the malarky over the past month i thank god that its now all sorted. Hi Joy, Many congrats. Can I ask you some thing re: ur new COS generated once ur visa was refused. was the start date on new COS backdated to 20th Oc...

is there anyway employer/sponsor can check the application status.. the sponsor can check if the CoS has gone 'used' which usually means that a decision has been made. They could also try to contact the UKBA but there is no guarantee they will get to speak to anyone who can give any useful info I g...

Hi Guys,

Just a quick update. I have now received my BRP this morning. After all the malarky over the past month i thank god that its now all sorted.

You can't! These idiots on phone (Immigration Enquiry) won't give you a status update until it has been at least 6 months since your application was lodged. You can however, speak to your local MP, explain him your situation and ask him to write to UKBA asking them to prioritise your case. If you re...

I spoke to my lawyer yesterday and he assured that an out of time application can be made if in case the appeal is refused by the 1st tier tribunal. I will put in all my effort an evidence into the appeal and be prepared for plan-b at the same time i.e out of time application. Does anyone know if I...

Hi Guys, Could anyone please help me with the following. My company applied for an Extension to my Tier 2 visa on 4th October 2011 with my previous visa expiring on the 19th October 2011. On the 21st December, UKBA refused my visa as the CoS used on the application was wrong. They gave me right to ...

Hi We received our biometric invitation letter one day after we recd the Acknowledgement letter. I believe these two letters are sent almost together. There is a fair possibility that your invitation letter may have got lost. Could you possibly frame a letter explaining your situation and fax/post ...

out-of-time applications are considered in exactly the same manner as your in-time applications. have they taken out the money as well? I am just really worried that just because the application was made after the previous visa expired. I have mentioned in the covering letter that the SoC in the Co...

Yes the money went out on the 5th January and they posted the letter on the 9th January and received yesterday 12th January.

thanks a lot guys for ur replies. Just another quick question. I am very sure that with the Documents supplied, i should receive the visa as it is exactly what it should be. However, does making a second application (out of time) give them enough reason to just refuse it. Are the time lines for this...

Thanks for your reply Vinny. Could you please explain why is that the case (i.e. can't take up employment) and what could be it its implications on my future ILR application. I have 2.5 years more to go. Also do u know, if i would need to do the biometrics again?
