It is too early to ask you may need to wait longer as they have a huge number of applications that they need to deal[quote="jim23"]hi

I applied on the 6th as well. The average waiting time for BRP letter is around 3 weeks right now. Don't worry about it!

Hi Guys

This happened to me some weeks back. I got it sorted thru the immigration consultant I applied through. My post was lost and a new one was requested.

UKBA will not respond if you call. Better call International student services at ur University. they will be able to help on this. I saw this in one of the forum here. Check that out.

biometrics email

Post by jitu.bhaskar1985 » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:25 pm

Hello,
I applied for my psw visa on 1 december 2011 and didn't recieve my biometric letter for a long time but i received an email from ukba to book an appointment. YOU DON'T NEED THE BIOMETRIC LETTER IF YOU RECEIVED THE EMAIL. Just take the printout of the email and book an appointment with any of the public offices around UK. Note that post offices won't accept email printouts, only UKBA offices will accept. I did my biometrics on 23rd December in Liverpool and still waiting for my documents.

Same situation here; applied on 09-Jan-2012 and haven't received Bio invitation yet.

I'm just wondering why do they still need to record your Bio info if they already have it from the previous Tire4 General Student Visa?

Remember that the PSW application form asks you if you have had your biometrics tsken before!

"That's odd.... Thst's odd indeed!!!"

(the clumsy British way of expressing confusion :) )

if I do not receive BRP letter till that date then they can provide any further information.

Biometric

Hi,

If you applied with the dependent then it will usually take more time then the normal one.

No,i did not apply with dependent.I applied just for myself.I called up today,they asked me to give me call on 3rd of February to find out.They said sometimes acknowledgement will not be sent due to high volume of applications.

I applied on 22nd Dec , received Acknowledgement letter on 17th Jan (dated 10th Jan), still no sign of the BRP letter or email. Do these come at the same time or separately?

Tried calling the 08 helpline number but no answer. It's kinda worrying me now.
