Given your attempts earlier, this may prove difficult but you have no choice but to keep trying your luck that some generous soul on the other end of the phone will understand your predicament.
What may be difficult also, given the situation, is to ensure that UKBA tags your new payment with your existing application - and does not return the application as invalid (for non-payment of fees) even after you send them the postal orders.
Alternatively, you can wait for UKBA to contact you regarding payment refusal (if they ever do) or return your application as invalid. If they choose to do the latter, you'll then be left at UKBA mercy to accept an out-of-time application for consideration ... and this may also affect your "lawful stay" in the UK for the purpose of settlement.
Doesn't change a thing. The day they realise it the application will be stamped "invalid". Any delays affect you .. not the UKBA.eppiblue wrote:I was kinda hoping the possibility was that they havent realised the payment was declined.
Is UKBA "error free"?eppiblue wrote:I dont understand why they would send a letter 4 days after the payment declined.
Yes, but this can take months .. as has been observed from various posts by people who were in similar situation as you.eppiblue wrote: Surely then they would just send the application back, but I havent received that either.
I am old HSMP as well. The form doesn't mention biometrics but I received a letter asking me to enrol my biometrics which I did. When I contacted them, UKBA confirmed that they are required for all extensions even those under old HSMP. (When my visa was approved, it was vignette in passport, not BRP though.)eppiblue wrote:From what I read on the UKBA site Im assessed under the old HSMP rules. I first got HSMP in March 2006. The form I was directed to fill out didnt mention anything about biometrics?
