1. Current visa: Tier 1 (General) + 1 dependant
2. Date of expiry of current leave (visa): 16/07/2011
3. Date application posted: 30/06/2011
4. Date payment debited: na (payment through agent)
5. Payment mode: na
6. Acknowledgement received: 08/07/2011
7. Biometric letter received : unsure, around 08/07/2011
7a. Biometrics provided : 18/08/2011 (very hard to get Croydon appointment)
8. Date (new) leave to remain valid until: 25/08/2013
9. Date passport+all docs+approval letters received: 30/08/2011
10. BRP received : 30/08/2011

Note on 7a: I wanted/needed to get an extended date so that I will qualify for ILR in 2 years, so it was just as well that the only appointment possible was over a month later.

My new leave to remain is on approval date 25-Aug, instead of my original expiry date of 16-Jul, which I am very very happy about
