I still haven't received any acknowledgement but after emailing biometrics team a few times I finally got my letter 30/7 and got it done on Sunday 2/8
Indeed, but even a small percentage out of a mass means something.anp wrote:Bear in mind old friend that we are unaware of the progress of the 99% of total applicants who are not on this board.

About 3 weeks. However when they did reply they apologized for delay. They also required more info for letter and the follow up emails were within 24 hours. I got the letter 3 days afterYogi_2K wrote:UmmMaryfati wrote:Hi

A few means how many times ? I have tried 2 times till now and not letter yet even after 2 weeks.
How long after you sent the mail you got the letter?

I applied in may-2015 but was observing progress for April coz I thought I would get approval after you guys but I am one of the luckiest person may be... I know its not fair but I thought I should let you know that how the HO works, they claim to process all applications in a date order but obviously its not.....
