BIOMETRICS does not confirm likelihood of applictn DISCUSS

[catchhster]

Hi

There is a myth in everyone that once UKBA calls an applicant for biometrics the many consider that their application is doing good and it is likely to be approved.

But reading the recent posts and forums on-line I believe that the application only gets processed after we give the biometrics as the caseworker need your Biometric reading and your photo to decide on application. So strongly believe that only after biometrics the application is processed and checked if proper supporting documents are submitted.

Can any one confirm this ? Does any one have any clarification on this matter ? as assumptions could end up in serious situations please discuss and help.

Also does any one know what the clerical staff check on our application before the biometrics? I believe they only check against signature,payment details and name and address details.

Please don't just read lets us discus if we understand the application process properly then we could learn to submit a proper application with most accurate information.

Agreed! First time when i did my biometric, it was rejected due to wrong SOC! so its just part of the process!

The Biometric is only one type the data capturing process for goverment record to prevent and control illegal immigrant.
Each and every applicant has to go through this process and then only the application is processed.
