Anyone applied in April got biometric letter?

Post by ferryahmed82 » Wed May 23, 2012 10:30 am

Has anyone applied in April got their biometric invitation letter? Applicants who applied in April got their fee deducted almost after a month, so just wondering if there is any lucky one, who applied in early April and got their biometric letter?

From Trackit, it looks like people whose applications arrived on 02 April have started getting their letters. Keep in mind it took them nearly 4 weeks to wade through the payments of applications received between 29 March and 05 April. This is the big wedge week, with the week before being somewhat slower than normal also.

I applied in last week of March and still waiting for biometric invitation letter.

Called them twice but got the same answer.
Continue to wait.

Looks like they might arrive by the end of next week (fingers crossed), because after that it might get delayed due to long bank holiday coming.

Hi All,

FYI

I have applied for Tier 1 (General) extension on 22-may-2012.

Got ack on 29-may-2012.

Wait for biometric letter for 3 weeks and call them on 13-June-2012 at 11:30 am took 16 minutes to pass through queue. After that they told sorry could not give any info for 3 to 4 weeks it's only 3 weeks so wait n watch. (Great sample of customer service... lol )

Cheers

There is no application tracking procedure in place so you can just wait n watch.

I applied on 17 April and had not received a biometrics notification by 14 June. After that I called the UKBA and was told that the letter had been issued for me on 2 June. As I never received it, I requested another one which apparently takes 10 business days to generate.
