Acknowledgement letter - Application reference Numberkapil2500 wrote:guys i was just wondering as to which is the actual reference no.
is it the one on the biometric letter or the one one the acknowledgement letter. because both of them have reference no.
the one on biometric says "case reference no" and the one on acknowledgement letter says "our reference no."
thanks in advance
Bio metric letter generated from their system on 18th apr 2012 after pressing the UKBA's back for more than 2 and 1/2 months.( after so many phone calls, emails, letter in post and fax, furthermore, chased from uni visa team as well)....Tihod wrote:kartik_r wrote:ok, thanks for that. but, you kno what... theu consider applications based on bio metric letters... so, should it take aug for me... because they deal with mar 19th appns as of now..Tihod wrote:Khaleel and kartik, I also did biometrics on 23 march like u although I applied on 20 feb.

you've a specific reason for your 54 days delay ( mistake in letter) but for ex ppl like me without any reason they have taken 74 days to send bio metric.. and due to that my file will be seen after hell a lot of ppl who gave bio metric (74 days gap) in the interim....
which is totally un fair and i should continue the same f*cking life that i am going through for 3 or 4 more months and just keep paying rent to landlord.
Its same here, dont you know that every one is facing the same situation , i have lost 3 good Investment Banking Opportunities due to the UKba.easydoesit wrote:kartik_r wrote:dude, there you go...easydoesit wrote:well i applied on feb 1 and received my biometric on 23 March after 53 days whereas one of my friends received her biometric letter within 15 days and she applied after 20 marchkartik_r wrote:

Actually NO i can only explain 10 odd days of delay due to mistake in letter but what about almost 2 months for the bio metric letter and now more than 2 months after bio its not easy to refuse jobs man its hard job finding a job and then getting the interviews cleared and at the very end when they ask for your passport you have to say i have not got it

I reall dont think anyone should be getting too excited as most people on the 22nd march biometrics have not received anything yet and there are still a large number of people who did biometrics before march 22nd who have not received anything yet.

I just dont think there is any point in getting your hopes up because it is horrible sitting in everyday ( like i did last week waiting for mine) because everyone said it should be arriving. It is too stressful when you expect it to arrive and it does not. Not demotivating just avoid extra stress because UKBA arent the most reliable.walkowitz wrote:What man you are demotivating ...hcampbell01 wrote:I reall dont think anyone should be getting too excited as most people on the 22nd march biometrics have not received anything yet and there are still a large number of people who did biometrics before march 22nd who have not received anything yet.

hi guys,
I had an problem with my application,regarding the Bank statements
Today morning i got an email from UKBA regarding the Bank statements
email follows as
I am currently considering your Tier 1 Post Study work application, however your bank statements show your funds falling below the required threshold on 08/02/12.
You require £800 for yourself plus £533 for your dependant, which equals £1333. Your closing balance on 08/02/12 is £434.66. Therefore you need to provide evidence of having £898.34 for the period 08/02/12. You must have £800 in your name. Your dependant can provide bank statements in his name to cover his maintenance.
I will keep you case on hold until 01/06/12.
But my problem is I had maintained balance more than 90 days period
which covers from November 3rd 2011 to February 7th 2012.(nearly 103 days)
On the 8th february i transfered to my friend as he need it (as i borrowed money for funds) and on the bank statement there is one transaction on 1st february and again on 8th february ...so i got the statement from bank showing balance 434 pounds.bank people said as i dnt have transactions between 1st to 8th they could nt give me statement, so as there is no time for applying another statement i applied with same statement which is stating November 2011 to feb 8th statement.
It already covered 90 days period during November 3 rd 2011 to january 31st it is exactly 90 days.
Now due to UKBA sent an email to me , i requested bank to send the statement again upto 1st of february transactions so that i could send a letter through solicitor stating that i already maintained funds for 90 days.
Please friends help me out., if u have any suggestions....iam worried about rejection of visa.
u might wanna ring 01226261226 talk to their call centre in India rather than employees at the branch (they are rubbish) and request for the letter mentioned by one of the people on this forum. Please make sure you dictate them what you want the letter to say and tell them you want it urgently. I had problems in getting the letter from the branch (they just wont write it down) and this is what I did. If you tell them you need it urgently they will put it in first class post before 3 and you should have it the next day.
I ll also suggest that you tell them that the letter should say that you "have had the funds of xxxx in your bank account CONSECUTIVELY for a period of 90 days FROM xx-xx-xxxx to xx-xx-xxxx". In this way it will say 90 days and will say the amount of money and it also say the date is less than a month from when you made your application effectively meaning that the case worker will have all his answers and you will have all the boxes ticked.
As this is what UKBA wants the letter to say
Letter from bank confirming funds and that they have been in the bank for a consecutive 90 day period, ending no more than one calendar month before the date of application.

Shresta, i wants to sugest you something, first of all don't go in big branches, They always follow a procedure, go to a small branch of your bank. I don't know which bank u have, but I know one person in Lloyds, he is personal relation manager in one small branch moreover he is from India. he is the same person given me the letter in just few minutes. so just the point is if u will go to a small branch they might give you letter in short notice also.
hey... forward that email to me... kartik.raviraj@gmail.com...mojeepo wrote:Hey Guys,
I am in same situation like anybody else in this forum, I have done my Biometric on 26th of March and I haven'y received anything from then.

Dear Sir,
I am an immigration caseworker working for the UK Border Agency in Sheffield. I am currently considering your application for further leave to remain in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 Post Study Migrant. In order to help me consider your application further I require the following information from you:
· You provided Lloyds TSB bank statements dated from 01November 2011 to 16 February 2012 meet the maintenance attribute, however statements dated from 13 February 2011 to 21 December 2011 had been omitted. Could you therefore provide bank statements ( stamped by the issuing bank if they are not originals ) dated from 13 February 2011 to 21 December 2011.
Please ensure that these documents are sent via post to the address stated below by 08 June 2012.
Failure to submit the information requested within the timeframe specified will result in the application being considered on the information already available and may result in the application being refused.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
"
Does anybody know why I received this email and what I have to do?
Tnx
