How long does a Biometric ID???

[LeoLady]

i think it depends on the ECO who check the application..my friend got her BRP only a month but mine !'m still waiting until now. i submitted my application last 20 Dec. I've done my Biometric 14 of Jan..

Just pray that everything will be alright..

Hi LeoLady! Just so confused. I've been reading some of the thread here and some said they got their biometric ID two weeks or they have it first before their approved visa.

I guess you are right. i got my FLR/LIMITED LEAVE TO REMAIN last 28 of December and until now im still waiting for my BIOMETRIC ID.

Help!! Basically, i don't really know much about this biometric id??? Is it like a normal ID??? Do i need one or will i receive one???

I thought that i will get one after my biometric done in the post office and after my visa approved. And its been almost 4 weeks since my documents arrived and i havent received one. We've been trying to phone the number in the site to inquire, but it is always busy(answering machine). Atlast, last night i was able to get through to them, but the guy was so unhelpful(he pause alot in the middle of conversation). He asked my case ID number and said call tomorrow my computer hang up! I asked my husband to call back maybe they would entertain him. Unluckily, it's the same guy and even my husband find it difficult and frustrating to talk to him. My husband even tried to get his name, but he said we dont give names, not our policy! And said I dont need a biometric id.

We had a little bit argument with my husband because i believe i should receive a biometric id and my husband thinks i dont need one because my visa is approved already and he thinks its the one in my passport. (very funny situation...we just had a laugh after we are discussing about the man on the phone... )


Wheww.. that was very detailed. sorry for that! i really need your advice guys. I know most of you have been through this things and had experience and know better than i do......
