Hi,
I am planning to apply for ILR in end of March this year. I am hoping to hire a Solicitor for sameday service but just found out about Biometric Residence Permits being issued from 29/Feb/12. Was wondering how will that work if Solicitor will be presenting my case in home office. Do i have to take an seperate appointment for biometric to be done and the solicitor will then take a seperate appointment . Anybody who have a biometric visa with the help of solicitor ???
By the way i am on HSMP/Tier1 Visa, completing my 5 years in March this year.

Hi

You may hire solicitor. Your solicitor may get bar-coded letter from UKBA requesting you to give your biometric details or you may get in post. Once you get letter, you can go to one of the PEO to give biometric details with appointment or simply go to selected post-office and get it done by paying £16.20.

Thanks for quick reply.
So you mean to say that once my application will be approved at PEO they will give a bar coded letter to the solicitor or will post me and than i have to go to post office or PEO for biometric to be done??
