Have you applied to work for NHS?
I did hear some jobs (sponsor specific) need security clearance/ checks , this could slow down process.

Guideline says , Biometeric would be taken if required (it not 100% always to ask BM) may be what they already have think sufficient , but it is all my understanding from guideline which could be wrong.

You generally have to give biometrics. I remember having to give mine for PSW and Tier-2 General both where both the times I had a BRP. So if it hasn't arrived yet, please wait and I'm sure it'll arrive soon. (fingers crossed)

Nope just wait for it. I'm sure you'll receive it soon. You're eligible to get in touch after 8 weeks of giving your biometrics.

too much stressed like all other fellows , our futures (specially who are with school going kids here ) at stake , I am much worried if they will have to go back they wont be adjust in old academic systems easily and it could ruin their future .

since you have received BM letter, you don't have to call them. I called them just for peace of mind.

Hi,
Status doesn't change. It will not change after you've submitted your application and will show as "Submitted on ..<date>".
You will know their decision by post.

@mankurup : how did you know that the biometrics letter was sent earlier (the one which you did not receive?)
Did you call them to find out?

Yes. the status does not change. It only shows submitted even after we receive the Passport back and BRP card. Decision is informed by postal mail letter.

status of my CoS in SMS is still Assigned , rather than used . even enrolled BM . HO keep people stressed with no reasons , they are just play with emo. I can not understand why they don't update applicants on each step.
