Processing Time For The Application Submitted Through Our Same Day Visa Service?

The applications submitted through our same day visa service are decided by the Home Office very next working day after we submit the application. Please be advised that the Biometric Residence Permit (The Biometric Card) is sent to us by the Home Office by special delivery within a week or so. As all applications are biometric applications as of 29 February 2012, therefore the applicant and dependents will have to attend the Home Office, PEO, Lunar House, Croydon for Biometrics. The applicant and dependents can leave the Home Office building after they have enrolled their biometrics and our legal representative will be able to submit the application and complete rest of the process. Also, the Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) will be sent by the Home Office to our office by special delivery within 7 working days of the decision on your application. As of 29 February 2012, leave to remain will always be endorsed on Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) and not on national passport of the applicant.

Please also be advised that if your application for leave to remain is not straightforward, the Home Office reserves the right to retain your application for further enquiries. More than 95% applications submitted through same day visa service are decided very next working day of the submission of the application. We will be able to advise you in detail whether or not your case is likely to be retained for further enquiries if submitted through same day visa service.

In appointments given by the Home Office, PEO for weekend consideration, the application is submitted by us during weekdays and the Home Office, PEO considers the application on Saturdays/Sundays. We collect the documents back from the Home Office on Mondays. As such, the decision is not made very next working day in weekend consideration cases.
