Almost 4 weeks and have not gotten letter to do the BRP

[Ash2412]

Hi there,

I have an enquiry regarding how long the application takes (PSW switching to Tier 2 General) On the "Timeline" topic, it seems that everyone who made their application got a letter to do their Biometrics beteen 10 days to 2 weeks from the date of their application; however, it has been almost 4 weeks since I made my application and I have not heard anything back from the Home Office. Is that normal and should I be worried? I made the application on the 28th of November and my account was debited on the 29th or 30th. I had also received a letter stating that they received my application but I haven't heard anything since then.

Hi Guys,

I submitted my application since October 18 and received the acknowledgement letter 2 weeks later. Nothing since then.

Rang the UKBA (0870 606 7766) on Monday and was told that it was NOT UNUSUAL that it is taking that long. The guy I spoke to said that it could take up to 3 months before I get the Biometrics Letter. However, he said that if I have not received it by the end of January, I should give them a call back.

Just to double-check that info, I called again on Tuesday and spoke with a lady this time around. She also confirmed that it was not unusual and that I would receive it at some point. She mentioned something about dealing with a high volume at the moment.

I would suggest you also call and post the response you get here, just so that we're all sure we're being given the correct info.

Cheers

Karthik: That's good to hear, I haven't done my biometrics yet I will be doing it first thing Monday morning and I'll update this topic as the application progresses.

Yogi: It can take a while longer as happened to me, Karthik, and Chin. Just hang in there and give it a while or you could try calling the helpline they may be able to assist you.
