You have 45 days to do biometrics.sumantoomula wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:30 pmI think we need to give the bio metrics within 28days after the application and I have 80 days short for eligibility so don’t think so it will work out for me ?
You remain a lawful residence if you apply before visa expiry. The date of biometrics is irrelevant.sumantoomula wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 3:43 pmAppreciate your response on this if we delay the bio metrics can I stay in UK as my visa might expire before the bio metrics?

If I file an application on my last date of expiry and do bio metrics on 45th day sill I have 35 days short on the day of bio metrics but not sure when the case worker will pick up my case after bio metrics. If the case works picks it up after 35 days then it makes sense that I will be able to finish my eligible period. That is most likely what will happen if you go with standard service.
My personal experience is, you have more than 45 days to do biometrics if you desperately need that extra time. After you submitted the online application, they would urge you to book a biometrics submission within 45 days, AND, following to that date, the sentence was phrased as" we will send you a reminding message if you missed this date". So I thought, why not wait longer, if there is going to be another reminder, it didn't say" your visa application will be withdrawn if you failed to attend an appointment by this date" is it ? I received an email ask me to book a biometrics appointment 2 days after the 45 days deadline. I then immediately booked the appointment for around 27days later... yeah, i do really need some extra time to count into my 10 years long residency IRL after this spouse visa. Everything went smoothly. I gave my biometric on 7th March for Spouse visa ( the initial deadline was 15th Feb). Got my visa approved yesterday 15th March. Only just 1 week. I booked for standard service.CR001 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:42 pmYou have 45 days to do biometrics.sumantoomula wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 4:30 pmI think we need to give the bio metrics within 28days after the application and I have 80 days short for eligibility so don’t think so it will work out for me ?
