Hi,

I've sent my application today through Roual Mail recorded delivery. I used the postal address.

Later I realized recorded delivery requires signature. Whether I'm alright (or) should have sent the application thrugh normal post.

Has anyone applied through recorded deliver without an problems?

thanks

It would be fine. HO is having it's own dedicated PO box. All deliveries go to that PO box. So your special delivery would be fine especially since you can track it. It is better option to send it by Special Delivery along with the self-addressed return special delivery envelope.

hi chetanojha

thanks for the reply. I haven't sent it by Special delivery. I used First class recorded delivery. Is that fine?

Yes it's fine. You can anyway able to track it online. Sometimes recorded deliveries are delayed so do not worry if that is case with you.

Documents sent: 11 August 09

I just mailed mine special delivery today.
I am applying for tier 1 - post-study work permit.
I am on my entry clearance (student visa) which expires end of Nov 09.

I had a look on this board and was wondering what is the earliest I could get a response from them ( my docs back)?

Also I've had a balance of over 800 from May 7th and the original bank statements I sent ran til Aug 06, that classifies as 3 months or will I be in trouble? I couldnt get another original statement til mid of Aug and I had to post my app today, but I went to the bank and they printed out statements for me from May 7 til Aug 11 and certified, signed n sealed them. Then I attached them to the statements I received in the mail, will that do?
Thanks for your help =)
