Hi everyone we are finally submitting our 2nd FLR m on the 5 year route next 2 weeks by post, what do we do about the biometric enrolement on payments page-is this something we do once weve sent the application and fee for visa or before at the post office??? final chk list pls chk and help. APPLICATION FORM-COMPLETED DOCUMENTS ALL PRESENT NHS CHARGE WERE PAYING DAY BEFORE WE SEND PACK OFF NEW ENGLISH TEST COMPLETED FINANCES IN ORDER BIOMETRIC ENROLMENT??? AFTER THAT SEEMS WERE SET!!!
We did the first FLR and with that you complete the application and send it off and the Hone Office then send you a letter with a bar code on it which you take to one of the rather few Post Offices that are equipped to take biometrics, along with a fee of £19.20p (credit cards not accepted - debit card or cash only)
I just recently got my visa extension for 2.5 years. HO will send you an acknowledgement letter (or sometimes they don't), a week or two after you sent off your application. Then a Biometric invitation letter (same day as the acknowledgement letter or next day), in the letter there is a barcode so it's a must that you bring the letter with the barcode with you when you go to the participating post office. From there you pay for Biometrics which is £19.20. Then the waiting game starts. Good luck!
Ah ok thanks good news you got the extension too..how long is procesing times at minute anyone any ideas...straight forward application nothings changed since last one we did...
They took 12 weeks for our application to be decided, not bad really. The quickest is 3.5 weeks I have seen!
Cool our friend just got in 3.5 so thats sounds good...fingers crossed eh!!! do you know in the finances section asks for if you are cat A or cat B...a is for salaried employment yes...B is for employment and savings?...we have combined earnings as both work full time so we go with A still correct>?
could be different each person, and ins and outs of application i suppose...how its laid out the evidence provided etc etc im going to send by courier special courier for documents not royal mail as dont want it going walkies
Category A is when you are with employer at least 6 months or more prior to application and has two sub category : 1) Salaried i.e where your pay or hours fixed and normally they mention how much it will be per year on contract and they will take lowest salary of the last 6 month and will multiply it with 12 to see whether you satisfy the financial requirements. 2) Non salaried of Category A is where you work on hourly rate and your pay/hours vary each week/month and here they will add last 6 months salary and will divide it by 6 and then multiply with 12 to calculate how much you make per year. Category B is where you are with employer less than 6 months or you are not making required amount in 6 months or working two jobs or irregular shift pattern We applied under CAT A as my husband meet the requirement alone.
