Applied on 9th Feb and biometrics on 19th March so let's hope for this week or next. It is just a rough calculation......!!!

Visa processing.

Post by kapil250 » Wed May 09, 2012 6:24 pm

Same with me..Already missed so many important events..And now brother is leaving for America soon and if things continue like this,,them i may not be able to meet him before he leaves..

I seriously hope that someone from the UKBA is following this discussion board. They should at least know how much we all are going through and missing in our life's just because of this delay in visa processing from their side..

Please give an advise

Post by Botita » Wed May 09, 2012 6:46 pm

Hi Guys
I have sent my docs on 14 th of mach
and have done biometric on 10 th of april by post office
I need to travel for my sister`s wedding at least on 5th of June. Do you think i can make it or should i return my docs urgent.
Also it says in their website that it will take 15 working days for emergency return of docs, is that possible to make it less? Also will they refuse me?
thx in advance for ur answers

Dude UKBA says so many things that they can't do. The level of their incompetences are very high, but still you can call them make sure that they can send it within in 15 working days. Even though they send it another risk involved with royal mail to deliver it properly on time.

Best advice I can give at this time is go through this thread/forum completely make a call to UKBA say some strong reasons in case if you feel they refuse. Do something quick don't waste any minute by now, I know how hard it is to miss sister's wedding coz I gonna miss it. Good luck. Well after all this i have to say one thing to Border agency f*** **u.

Hey, bogy, I have the same situation with you.
Applied date: 14 March
BRP done: 10 April

For my calculate. The week of 21th - 26th May is possible get BRP or Doc
Or, end of this month we must gain BRP.

The timeline is confusing!
For my advice, you can wait some days.

Lol seriously? Guys you gave bio metric on 10 th April I gave it on 28th March and I believe I'll get my visa and documents back on the date you mentioned above I.e 21st to 26th May. Probably you'll get after 2 weeks from that. I applied on feb 14 still more people on que before me. I'm not disappointing you but have a look at this thread clearly.

Application sent 20 feb,2012
Acknowledgement received 26 feb, 2012
Biometric letter received 23 March dated 21 March, 2012
Biometrics given 23 March same day around 12 afternoon minutes after receiving the letter.

Hopefully will get it soon.

All the best to others also.

Any ideas guys, when can I get both of these.

Dude you must contact HO. As per my info almost everyone who applied in jan have already got it, atleast BRP or Passport one of these. One reson of your delay can be that you submitted the biometrics on 21 march, almost same time as me, i submitted on 23 march, so you can try your luck either for this week and next week.

All the best
