Biometric Request can i go to POST OFFICE ?

Post by sahil20174 » Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:00 pm

Hello All

I need your valuable advice on 18/07/2011 i had submitted my application by post for my tier1 general + dependent extension payment taken on wednesday and received my biometric request which need to completed with in 15 days of the receipt of the letter.

But i am not getting appointment in croydon or sheffield whcih can be close to me but i am getting the appointment quiet faraway.

I heard that i can get the biometrics taken in one of the homeoffice listed post office is it true

My application is for Tier1 general extension with one dependent am i eligible to get my biometrics done and any post office ?

But the letter i received from homeofice states only 8 homeoffice biometrics centres where i need to go for biometrics.

can i go to postoffice other than this 8 biometric centres ? If yes then does it take longer then the expected because of post office biometric ?

Your Valuable Advice will be Appereciated.

Thank you

Sahil

Applicants with the dependants can't get their biometrics done at Postoffices.

If you check the appointments online you will end up having less appointments, y dont you give a try calling them on phone number provided on the biometric letter, u will be having choices.

As khan said applicants having dependents cant go to postoffice.

Its not mandatory that u should give you biometric details within 15 days, but it is mandatory to book an appointment within 15 days receipt of letter.


Still confused then check this link http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/conta ... enrolment/
