Hi All,
I have applied for Tier 1 extension for myself and my wife as dependent inside UK during 14th March and recieved the Biometric
notification letter from homeOffice at 2nd April stating that "There is a time period of up to 15 working days to enrol for a
Biometric appointment, otherwise the application may be rejected as invalid." And in the back side of the letter they have listed few
Homeoffice biometric Enrollment centres. I live near to London. When I tried seeing the earliest dates avaliable for all the centres
in UK, the earliest date available is only 28th April and also for that I need to go to Belfast. And all the near centres
(Croydon, IPS Elephant Castle, IPS Brighton) does not have any appointments till end of May.
From the HomeOffice notification letter it clearly states that :
> There is a time period of up to 15 working days to enrol for a
> biometric appointment, otherwise the application may be rejected as
> invalid.
Taking the 15 working days into consideration from 31st March I must apply for Biometrics before 21st April.
And I don't have any slots available whole across UK until 28th April. I have also heard that applications with no dependant can
only go to the PostOffice for Biometric enrollment.
I am in a big confusion. Could you please assist me at the earliest possible how to proceed further to enroll for biometric.
Will there be any refusal because of this ? My visa expires on 30th May. I have urgent plans to travel outside of UK during 20th May.
It would be very helpfuf I get a earliest response on this.
Below are the appointments whole across UK :
Croydon - No appoinments avaliable for till end of May
Glassgow - Earliest appointment avaliable is 10th 11th May
Sheffield - Earliest appoitnment available is 4, 5, 6th May
LiverPool - 5, 6th May
Birmingham - No appoinments avaliable for till end of May
Cardiff - Earliest appoitnment available is 6th
Belfast - Earliest appoitnment available is 28th April
IPS Elephant Castle - No appoinments avaliable for till end of May
IPS Birmigham - Earliest appointment avaliable is 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th May
IPS Derby - Earliest appointment avaliable is 9th, 11th, 12th May
IPS Brighton - No appoinments avaliable for till end of May
Thanks in advance.
