Hi all,
1) I have applied for tier 2 visa on 5th of April 2017.
2) I have enrolled for biometric on 25th of April 2017.
3) I have checked my Visa application online but it showing Awaiting a Decision. my application was last updated on 11th of April 2017 in their website

4) My application was sent by standard postal which should receive a decision by 8 weeks if not UKVI supposed to let me know why there is a delay, unfortunately I have not heard anything from them since I enrol for Biometric.

I have raised the and received the automatic generated you will get reply in 5 working days.

After three days received mail:

"Thank you for your enquiry regarding the delivery of the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).  This has been passed to the caseworker who should contact you directly.
We advise travel arrangements should not be made until after the BRP has been received.
For further information regarding this query you should contact the caseworker directly, caseworker’s details can be found on the decision letter."

Still now no update from caseworker or BRP delivery team.

Can you please advice how can we contact caseworker?
