I guess I am prepared. I dont think we need to do any special preparation? I am just going to look at the form again today and rest I should be able to answer (i guess)
Do you know if they do any eye, finger print scans for passport applicants?
Not sure either...shs213 - what are you planning

make sure you remove your sunglasses when they scan your retina
Don't think they are there yet - with scanners!

HI Guys, just googled about biometric passport, it says that they take details from the photo we supply, so i guess no retina scan/finger prints

I have received my documents back. Not sure if the letter has come.
Just to re-confirm, I dont need to take any documents with me?

Nope - all you need is the confirmation letter

I just got the ref letter and the appt confirmation letter.

my documents have arrived today. I still haven't checked them. They came by courier. I thought the letter with reference no comes separately from courier. Also when I booked the appointment, I was told that there will be a letter they will send. I haven't received that either.
I m sure I read on the forum that we dont need anything

they send a letter with the ref number. I booked my appointment after I recvd that letter. The guy asked to bring ONLY that letter for the interview. No other docs required...

guys
just called IPS. They also asked me to take the letter with me. In absence of the letter, she said just take the reference no, which will be fine.
I think Jambo suggested the same.
Anyone who has done this, please comment

I got in at Maidenhead,Kent. It was relatively easy. Plus I did it a week in advance so may be it was easier. But I don't see major obstacles for Sat appt,if you are willing to travel.
Good Luck
