Application: 2nd Feb.
Acknowledgement letter dated: 7th Feb.
Biometric letter dated: 11th April
Biometric letter received and enrolled on: 14th April
since then, nothing yet.
I received biometric invitation letter almost after two and a half month from date of application. After waiting two months for biometric letter, i called the number provided on UKBA website and then I came to know that they sent my letter to a wrong address. After correcting my address in their records, i requested them to send me a new letter. I received this letter on 14th April and enrolled biometric on the same day at croydon post office.
Now my concern is, whether they process the applications according to the application date or biometric enrollment date? If they process according to application date, then i should have received my documents by now. And if not then i see a long wait in front of me. Does anybody have any idea about how they queue the applications for processing?
Thanks in advance.
I think its after the biometric date bud ..!!

In your case, In fact for you you got to know a reason that they sent to wrong address and that is why the delay for bio metric... wherein in my case i dont know the reason for the delay in bio metric but still they dont really care about Date of Application and upload the file in the system for a case worker ( work queue) on considering the date of bio metric registration.
Unfortunately, this year due to employment routes closure massive people applied during Mar 20-Apr 5 in order to extend their stay and take employment and that is why there is a backlog, many people from the time line ( Feb 3rd week to Mar 2nd week) would have got their bio metric done by Mar last week and following weeks.... so, we'll be down under the work queue ( on seeing their pace in terms of application process), i guess it will take solid 2 to 3 months from now for bio metric registered dates ( apr 13 - Apr 24).
I also heared that UKba giving more perference to Olymbic visas rather considering the PSW visas ( due to the fact of more business) because they already got the money from PSW applications.
