False alarm - my package was indeed from Amazon. I got FAR too excited, only to be greatly disappointed. Ugh. Still, I am encouraged by TnT's story. TnT - did you request anything back, or did this happen indepentently of any intervention? I did request the sponsor passport back but that was around...
Holy hell TnT-Freak! Congratulations! I applied the day before you... and I have a Royal Mail Delivery slip waiting for me to collect a parcel! I thought it was just something from Amazon... but now I'm going to race down there! *Must not get over-excited* Do you mind saying what time of visa you w...
Our long wait is finally over. When I reached home yesterday there was Royal mail letter to collect a delivery. This morning when I went to the post office we had the letter with all our documents confirming the visa has been granted and will receive BRP in 7 days. Here is our timeline Application s...

"I'm very new here but have been reading posts on here for quite a while. I would like to know if there's a set time between when an FLR(m) application is made and when the biometrics letter is sent. I have received only an acknowledgement letter and no biometrics letter and it's been 12 weeks...
this is what I found on ukba web about return of document If you have applied under any other route and would either like to request that your documents are returned or would like to withdraw your application, you should complete the Return of document request form. You are advised to send a Word d...
Please has anybody experience this from ukba, my Wife filled manually return of document to ukba, first she was told that the file can not be open, she rescan it and now it is a different story. Below are ukba respond Thank you for your request for Return of Documents. Unfortunately, we are unable ...
Thanks for sharing the select committee documents. I have had a quick look through them - but it seems to me that the inquiry is about Asylum cases and the 'immigration refusal pool' (i.e. those who have been refused their visa but illegally staying in the country). It looks to me like the agency b...
TNT my time line is almost the same as yours... By my reckoning we are two weeks away from the June applicants receiving...COULD BE SOONER IF THE STAFF ARE WORKING EXTRA HARD.....I'm starting to feel excited Another day ... another start... Come on people, please share some more good news. I really...
After looking at this sea of good news come through, now I'm anxiously waiting for UKBA to bring down the backlog.... The signs are all there: select committee review, increased MP involvement and now hiring of temp staff. UKBA is trying to fix things. I am a July applicant and now actively reviewin...
thanks for the quick reply.# actually i only download from internet and then hand fill in. therefore, it says version 04/2012 on the first page top right hand side. i think you are right. now we can only wait. i have noticed some people applied on 11 June already got their passport back. so it wont...
I'm not really sure of the exact date but she applied July and got her biometrics letter around mid August. By the way, she applied for ILR and not FLR(M) though. I'm guessing ILRs are being processed faster compared to FLR(M)s, maybe there are more case workers for ILR? or maybe they are putting o...
Well, my friend's application has already arrived and she just applied on July..while I'm still waiting ongoing 7 months already!!!! :evil: Not that I want to be too intrusive with your friend's application, but would you mind sharing what date did she get her biometrics done...? The reason I ask t...
The same happened to me. The bio letter was dated the day after my husband called to request his passport. The simple reason is in order to return a document, we need to be in their database; and when your application is entered into the database, the bio letter is automatically generated. I missed...
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/postal_flrm_applications_times_a#incoming-311921 Is it possible for UKBA to return the applicant's passport back for travel purposes without withdrawing the application? Maybe that could be a suggestion to our MPs, so that when UKBA comes to our application the...
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/postal_flrm_applications_times_a#incoming-311921 I love how they assume I'm a dude. They give the most vague answers possible, and I've given up trying to understand how they operate. It sounds like they put applications in order of application date ONCE biomet...
So peeps, as expected, we got the biometrics letter today. Not much of an update otherwise, we just now join the long queue of people waiting for their visas. So if I was to play the estimation game, would it be fair to say that once UKBA receives the biometrics information, your application could e...
All, Here is an update for July applicants. I called the UKBA today and there was some good news in the form that they confirmed that my application is now in the system and they have printed the biometrics letter. The letter has not been posted yet but will be done so over the course of next week....

While i can see your logic Tnt, it did help us- i think. we can never really be sure though... I hope this means that other people who applied in July should be receiving the biometrics letters soon. here is our timeline: Date applied/docs sent: 03/07/2012 Date application received by UKBA: 04/07/2...
HI Steph, the UKBA received our application on 5 July. we still havent received the biometrics letter yet! we're called twice and have been told that my application 'isnt on the system yet' so they cant even request it for us. as always, the best/ only advice, according to the UKBA, is 'be patient'...
Hi guys, just a quick update. I posted my application off on 4th July. a week later my husband found out he needed to go to overseas in Sept. we immediately contacted our MP and explained the situation. we were requesting the return of the sponsor's visa and DID NOT want to withdraw the application...
