because this is what it says on the letter.ukvisahopeful wrote:Can u advise how this can be reconfirmed from ukba?King_Khan wrote:The letter means that you have to book an appointment at any available date.

Yes, I talked to HO last time, and they confirmed me that.ukvisahopeful wrote:Can u advise how this can be reconfirmed from ukba?King_Khan wrote:The letter means that you have to book an appointment at any available date.

Apart from the letter which is quite obvious, it is my own personal experience as well... I received the biometrics letter at the end of december and got my biometrics done a few days ago without any problem even though I had forgot to bring the biometrics letter along...ukvisahopeful wrote:Can u advise how this can be reconfirmed from ukba?King_Khan wrote:The letter means that you have to book an appointment at any available date.

Incorrect. Letter is not obvious. I am quoting what it says:King_Khan wrote:Apart from the letter which is quite obvious, it is my own personal experience as well...

Well i won't say that you are incorrect but let me repeat the letter's wordings...ukvisahopeful wrote: Incorrect. Letter is not obvious. I am quoting what it says:
"You have 15 working days (from the date of this letter) to book an appointment....In order to ensure your application is processed in a timely manner it is recommended that you have your biometrics taken as soon as possible "
I am concerned about highlighted text as I received the letter on 2nd Feb 2012 and from 1st Feb they have ONLY online appointments. The closest biometric centre is Croyon as I am based in uxbridge. The first available appointment here is 15th March!!! There are other centres ie liverpool where appointments are available in 15 working days but this would not be convenient! Therefore booking an appointment in 15 working days is clear but what about "as soon as possible"????
It would be great if someone can clarify ASAP as I need to book very quickly. Secondly can anyone give HO number where I can also clarify this ?
It doesn't say that you have 15 days to get your biometrics done. It means that you have to book your appointment within those 15 days.ukvisahopeful wrote: You have 15 working days (from the date of this letter) to book an appointment
It simply means that you preferably choose the nearest appointment date. The earliest date available is 15 march so go for it, if it is convenient for you otherwise choose 1st april... you will be fineukvisahopeful wrote: it is recommended that you have your biometrics taken as soon as possible.
