Seriously...its too slow...2 weeks b4 it was 3 weeks waiting time...now its 5 weeks...even I want to go to India...

My cos runs out 5th april. My manager requested for annual allocation on 16th feb. Still no reply from them.

I gave on 20th Feb at Liverpool. Haven't got anything yet. I had planned for my travel on 30th Mar booked 4 months back. Not as important travel as yours but still....never expected this much delay.

I think you can plan ur travel for April.. You should receive yours by next week - guess before 31st.. But be careful as bank holiday weekend is coming

Unbelievable

Post by imam.asad » Thu Mar 22, 2012 6:06 pm

Hi guys,

glad to inform you that I received my passport and bio metric today. Was very surprised that the passport left UKBA on 20th of March and was with the lawyer on the 21st and the bio metric was received a day later.

Regards,
Asad

hi rajan,

try writing to the courier company. that trick really worked for me. if you go through the forum then there is topic about bio metric done before 6th of february in that discussion string you would get the details of who and what to write.

Regards,
Asad

1. Type of application: Extending
2. Category : Tier 2 ICT extension with Family
3. Date of expiry of current leave (visa) : 25-Jan-2012
4. Date application posted : 15-Jan-12
5. Date Biometrics letter received : 3-Feb-2012
6. Date of Biometric appointment (earliest appointment available) : 20-Feb-2012 at Liverpool
7. Date BRP cards received : 29-Mar-2012
8. Date passports received : Still waiting on 31-Mar-12

I had my flight booked for family on 30th and had to cancel paying a heavy penalty.
Still waiting for passports to book my next flights.
This is in spite of the case officer acknowledging the receipt of a registered post explaining my situation on 19th March.
