Dear July Applicants,

Is anyone for SET(O) from July is still waiting for a biometric invitation. I called today again and the reply is still the same (Application is not in the system). Wait further.

Hi Sanjacs

Please can you tell me how you got that Home Office Right to work certificate for your employers.

Thank you.

Hi

I got my employer to call the employers checking service and gave them my case reference number (which you only get after doing biometrics). It took five working days, but they sent a certificate directly to the employer (they wont discuss anything with you directly)

Sorry I dont have the number, but its on UKBA website.

Thanks Sanjacs for your reply.
My employer is a bit impatient and does not understand the waiting times of ILR and unconvinced with the reality.

I will try the link.
thanks
