I guess I am prepared. I dont think we need to do any special preparation? I am just going to look at the form again today and rest I should be able to answer (i guess)
Do you know if they do any eye, finger print scans for passport applicants?

Not sure either...shs213 - what are you planning

Naah - I don't think you need any special prep.

Good Luck for tomorrow and keep us posted!

All my friends ask all these question; I've given them the impression its a matrix/Men in Black type sophisticated interview... just kidding...

A newly introduced rule requires finger prints for with visa renewal - at least a family memeber had to go to croydon to do this...

was wondering if something like this happen with the IPS>....

make sure you remove your sunglasses when they scan your retina

Don't think they are there yet - with scanners!

HI Guys, just googled about biometric passport, it says that they take details from the photo we supply, so i guess no retina scan/finger prints

I have received my documents back. Not sure if the letter has come.

Just to re-confirm, I dont need to take any documents with me?

Nope - all you need is the confirmation letter

Did you also get your pasport and certificate back?

I just got the ref letter and the appt confirmation letter.

my documents have arrived today. I still haven't checked them. They came by courier. I thought the letter with reference no comes separately from courier. Also when I booked the appointment, I was told that there will be a letter they will send. I haven't received that either.

I m sure I read on the forum that we dont need anything

they send a letter with the ref number. I booked my appointment after I recvd that letter. The guy asked to bring ONLY that letter for the interview. No other docs required...

shs213, i haven't received the letter till now (not sure about today) and my interview is tomorrow.

What do you suggest?

vipul1981 · Post by **vipul1981** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 1:37 pm

guys

just called IPS. They also asked me to take the letter with me. In absence of the letter, she said just take the reference no, which will be fine.

I think Jambo suggested the same.

Anyone who has done this, please comment

I got in at Maidenhead,Kent. It was relatively easy. Plus I did it a week in advance so may be it was easier. But I don't see major obstacles for Sat appt,if you are willing to travel.

Good Luck
