Congrats to those who got docs back
Any updates for bios done on 28th march
I enrolled my biometrics on the 28th of March.. In liverpool tho (after they sent me a letter with an invalid barcode). Does that make a difference? I submitted my application on the 14th of February, it's been so long, I don't know what to do anymore, I'm thinking of requesting the return of documents :( Even sent them a letter, no reply, no information, nothing :((

With all due respect mate you would be a fool to do so I applied on feb 1, did my bio on 24 march and received my PSW yesterday it took me almost 4 months. Moreover if you would look at the calendar you ll realise that 24 march was a saturday so UKBA recieved my bio on 26 march you are only 2 days away mate. I ll say you should receive your stuff within 10 days at the most considering that we have two bank holidays next week. I ll say friday the 8 should be your lucky day. fingers crossed. You have crossed the hard bit mate its time to be patient and KEEP THE FAITH. This is what I learned from this forum KEEP THE FAITH mate.

I applied for a PSW on 30-March and got the acknowledgement around 28 April.
I got a biometric letter today (2-June) dated 29-May and immediately went to the post-office for the biometrics but now their scanner doesn't recognise the barcode I was given.
Could someone please tell me what should I do in this case? Should I call them and ask for another letter or email them alternatively? (today is Saturday and next week there are 2 working days' holidays as well) OR should I book appointment online in PEOs for which I have to travel to another city ....

I am really frustrated at their services. It's like a bad joke.

the prob is with the scanner, not your letter. Instead of asking for another letter which wil take another 10 working days, my suggestion is that u try a different post office.
