Is anyone who applied mid or end of april still waiting for his/her biometrics invitaion letter? It seems that HO can't handle the situation as many appear to have not received it yet.
I emailed them at
nationalitybiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk 10 days ago but no reply. Any other option i could try?
Thank you

UPDATE I phoned them again and first time without any questions advisor admitted that I should have received biometric invitation letter by now for case submitted on april 20. He referred this again to HO caseworker team to call me within next 2 working days. I told him first reference was entered last tuesday to be followed up by call from HO in next 3 working days but never received any.
Utterly mismanaged department and worst service for that much of a fee!

Usman can you please update, has some body rang you? what they said? etc.

I applied on 31st March 2015 and received only an acknowledgement letter. I rang HO the other day and the lady told me that she can't help as 6 months processing time is not over yet, anyway she took my details that someone will call you in 3 working days. Lets see what happens next... but so far no call

Yes the trend is very inconsistent some people receive biometric letters before than others even they applied later.

when did HO receive your application if it is received by them before 6th april then you wont get the biometric letter.
