You will have to give your biometrics again. This is to check that you are the same person that applied before.tina2001 wrote:So, it takes around one and half month for all (biometric, passport/ id returned) but i have already done my biometric in last renewal. So, i dont have to go again for biometric, isn't?
So, this time i might get all my pp visa id card within around one month?
Any suggestion?
congrats!!! You got it in the end and that's what matters!joh118 wrote:It feels like I've been on a very very long rollercoaster with the UKBA but finally, it's now come to a stop.
Here is my final & complete timeline for others:
Aplication submitted: 1st October 2009
Confirmation recieved: 8th October 2009
Biometric Letter arrived: 21th October 2009
Biometrics Recorded at Croydon PEO: 26th October 2009
Approved & Passport(s) returned: 5th November 2009 (Dated 03/11/09)
This is where it went all WRONG!
ID card should have arrived well before the 10 working day waiting time but that 10 working day wait became an 18 working day wait. This was becuase, the adress provided by the courior company (DX Secure Deliveries) was insufficient for delivery (although it was very clear where the adress was). So, I called on day 10 of waiting and UKBA told me that I needed to change my address. So after changing, it took another 4 days for it to take effect.
When they deliver, the courior comapny needs to see a form of ID. My "adress" was my school/college adress and obviously, they didn't have an ID. So, I had to rearrange another delivery 2 days later and left my passport at reception.
ID Card recieved: 27 November 2009
In toal it took ALMOST 2 MONTHS!!! but mainly due to the delay in delivering ID card. Right up until the delivery of my ID card, I had been impressed by the speed of things.
