No biometric letter 1 month after my application

Post by syy » Wed Jan 08, 2014 12:30 pm

PSW 50k route

Hi,

I submitted my Tier 1 entrepreneur application one month ago. Got their acknowledgement letter but not the biometric notification letter yet. I hope it's not sent to my home address as it's different to my correspondence address.

I emailed BRPDelivery@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to ask for a redelivery. They said they only deal with Biometric Residence Permits. Is it a different thing? If they don't deal with it, where can I look for help? When I looked at this forum, people who applied around the same time got that biometric letter within 10 days. It's really strange as I still haven't got it after a month. Please help if anyone can give me some advice. Many thanks!

thats strange. people getting decision now a days within 1 month. as u mentioned that yr correspondence address is different. but u should get it even though its sent to yr home coz u live there. u have to call home office with the reference no given in yr acknowledgement letter and ask them whats happening. that will surely help u

Unfortunately I moved home before I posted my application. I use my friend's address as correspondence address. The acknowledgement letter is addressed to that so I guess there wouldn't be any problem. (Also I have checked with my housemate living in my registered home address. There's no post from HO.)

On 22nd Dec I received an urgent email from HO asking for additional information. I arranged the post the next day so they should have everything they need for their consideration before Christmas.

So far, I got one letter and one email. Since then, I've heard nothing from them. I've got a contact number from their BRP Delivery Team but they ask me to use that number only 6 months after my application. Should I call them now?

well I am bit confused now after yr explanation. what exactly do u mean by biometric letter? did u mean the invitation to register yr fingerprint or the confirmation of yr visa. since u have already got a letter from them did u get that in yr correspondence address or home address? if its yr correspondence address and as u moved yr home address i am expecting that u let them know about it. one of my friend had the same problem. he got his letter in his home address rather than his correspondence address. so i would still suggest that have a query coz it shouldn't take this long now a days.

Hi Syy,
I think HO asks for biometric registration straight away even without looking into application and finding missing documents to ask for additional info. I suggest you can ask your caseworker who emailed you for additional info if no other thing is working.

And do provide your new address to HO in order to avoid future worries.

Hi Meesha, I did email my caseworker but haven't got her reply yet. Maybe they are doing something but just too busy to get back with details.
