Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Agree, they gave an official timeline to thousands of applicants by email saying that appointments will be released this week (which gives them until Sunday). You should submit a formal complaint at: https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/contact-us/complaint UKVCAS (as per contract with UKVI must by law) do the ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Hi all, I am currently on Tier 2 General and submitted my application for Set (LR) on 10th July. I opted out of the IDV app on 6th August, well before the 10th August deadline. I called up the UKVCAS call centre today, waited for almost an hour in the queue only to be told that they have no ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Do not trust anything a customer representative says on the phone. They have no idea what is going on, and usually make up stuff or are not up to date with their knowledge. But yeah, if UKVCAS fails again with optout emails then they deserve a lawsuit. Spoken to ukvcas. And they were not accepting ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Yeah, so called technology and IT company uses manual process to sort out opt-out emails and it takes them 3 weeks to do it. I wonder, how they managed to get this contract with UKVI. It feels more like stone age than 21st century. Shall we start using pigeons to post opt-out letters as well? I am ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

One thing I just don’t understand is that I saw some applicants get direct email from caseworkers requesting documents. Why does it apply on SOME applicants ? Is it because they earn more money and their route is more important? While rest of the applicants need to wait ? Its not the case, if you a ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

If they didn't close down for whole 2 months, this wouldn't happen. I can understand the immediate closure right after lockdown, but stopping an essential service for whole 2 months while doing nothing was a disaster. Supermarkets implemented the changes super quick, protecting shoppers and their ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Just called the UKVCAS. They said 1) the Home Office randomly picked people to join the ‘biometric reuse’ group, and 2) currently there are more than 15000 applicants waiting for the appointment or IDV app 3) there’s no ETA for the appointment booking email for the applicants choose to opt out. they ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Instead of putting an "OPT OUT" button on UKVCAS website, they asked us to email them manually to opt out. Obviously it is taking them time to manually sort out hundreds of emails. All we needed to do is click the OPT OUT button since the beginning of this nonsense and be able to book appointment ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

The email that applies to applicants up until June states: “ If you opt out on or up to 7 August 2020, UKVCAS will send you an email during week commencing 10 August 2020 inviting you to book an appointment at a UKVCAS service point.” You never know if its end of the week. yep, but the week has sta ...

Since the link was removed, could anyone tell me what's the name of the video please? I think, the video uploaded is a third party, where the guy is telling about no appointments. Obviously, if you are in the reuse category, you will see no appointments. Nothing special there. Just search youtube ...
