A thanks to all on this forum and I thought it would be useful for me to update my case here for everyone's reference.
Appointment time 08:30
Arrived: 07:55
Security Checks completed @08:00
Token Granted: 08:05
Number was called out straight away.
There were computer issues so the lady had to restart the PC which caused a lot of anxiousness and unneccessary delay as other people who came after me, leapfrogged me.
Case details registered: 08:20
Biometrics called straight away and completed by 08:30
In the cafeteria, Biometric approval lasted for 10 minutes
Status changed to awaiting consideration @08:40
Status changed to under consideration @08:55
Documents ready for collection @09:30
Token called @09:35
Approval granted and left the office @09:50
Couple of things for everyone:
1 - Have photocopies ready for everything, the person at the desk will give a separate bag for photocopies. this will speed up your case.
2 - Go for Biometrics as soon as your number is called. A delay of even one minute may mean that someone else gets their fingerprints done first and their file will be ahead of you and you will have to wait extra time.
3 - The time under consideration is really variable from case worker to case worker. Some cases came after me in the "Under consideration" queue but got their documents collected within 10 minutes. Others had to wait over an hour. So no need to worry on that basis.
4 - For bank statement evidence, put a sticky note on each page where your salary is printed. This will speed it up.
any other questions, let me know.
