to Joeblog I arrived Uk November 28 2010 with 2 years settlement visa it will expired on the 17 Feb this year Its should be ok as long as I apply before the expiry date. I book and pay my appointment for settlement checking service today for Feb 12 as that the earliest I can do and also in here (preston) they only do once a week for this service and I did not realise that it will take 3 hours as well oh my god never mind. My question is, Is anyone in here do the same process like mine and will they do the Biometric there as well? I have no idea where and when to do that? thanks guys x
