HELP - PSW WITH BIOMETRIC

Post by Mackie » Tue Aug 18, 2009 3:33 pm

Hi, I am new to this forum. I appreciate if someone can advise the following.

I have sent my PSW application on the 30 May 2009, and did the biometric on the 12 June.

Now it has been nearly 3 months, I called ukba yesterday, they said it is still under consideration!

I am really worried and not sure if there has been a delay because of the biometric?

Did anyone have the same problem? Could someone give me some advise please?

Many thanks!

I think if you apply for the initial PSW now, HO will ask you to do the biometric. No biometric for switching from IGS to PSW.

Some friends applied for the extension, they did not take biometric and got visa back fairly quickly! So I thought it may be the biometric slows the process down?

No biometric is not required for initial applications.

Not sure how the system works, but I did it, and so did some other friends. We made applications around May/June time.
