I don't know, but embracing for a loooooooong wait. Paid with a bankers draft, thought its a guaranteed and secured method of payment. I am sending a letter tomorrow with a copy of the acknowledgement letter. Is there a fax number for the Liverpool centre?

Yes, I agree with the debit card. Just wasn't sure about the bank when they mess about with the payment, all they say is "oops we screwed up, sorry about that" and you are at the back of the queue again. To avoid that I chose draft. Anyway, they told me that drafts are generally cleared and they send acknowledgement letter after clearing the payments. Not sure if that is true. It's bitterly frustrating when people applying days before you gets the biometric letter. I bet you some folks applying in November might have got it too, although I don't know of any.

I am posting a letter to Liverpool by records delivery today. I am also going to email the letter to: settlementopspolicy@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk, the address given to me by one of the Moderator. Also I shall cc it to: complaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk, the address I got from HO.

My theory is, cases after the payment centre goes to individual casework units in Liverpool and it how fast they move up the process tree depends on individual units. It's all a game of probability now.

Any one knows any other ways to contact Liverpool other than postal address. Please share it with us.

Please sign the e-petition organised by TNT magazine (www.tntmagazine.com/news/uk) in order to ask UKBA to organize visa application processes. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/46771

Just now, I enquired with Sunrise Solicitors (206 Merton High Street, South Wimbledon, London, SW19 1AX) regarding my case; they said, as my student visa was initially curtailed by UKBA followed by the re-consideration decision of theirs, unless the 1st decision is my favor, I'm not eligible to qualify for ILR. Any help/suggestion?
