Yes you are able to view appointments even AFTER submitting biometrics via IDV app.
Yes, and the key point is that only the IDV app segregates the facial image & liveness check into a separate tab, and supporting documents into another tab in its UI.
May 10th applicant here. No word on IDV app invite yet. Frustrating wait continues.SIyer wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 12:16 pmApril applicant and still waiting, how about the rest of you who were waiting from March, April and May have you had any luck this week? Looks like they’ll get through all the applicants till August in a couple of days. I don’t expect mine to come through till they finish inviting what I’m calling the first batch.
Just received my IDV invitation on 30th Aug at 23:00.iamawonder wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:38 amHave you received an invite yet? Or you just tried downloading and using it? if you did get an invite, which month did you apply in?Gilo wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 10:33 amSadly, this IDV app is only allowed to download and use in the UK... my Apple account was still set in my home country and now I have to change the region to the uk and Retype my payment card Details and I lost the game renewal.(just one of the imperfections of this app) Nothing serious. Cheers
You can submit before or after receiving the app invite. Doesn't make a difference. But don't be in a rush to submit..check and double check.billybig wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 10:53 amHi all
Sorry if it's already been answered but do you have to have submitted documents before you would be considered for using the IDV app?
We have uploaded all documents but not submitted, cannot book f2f appointment (due to covid and new app etc.). Just waiting for the notification to use the app - but as I say, not sure if we need to submit docs first.
Thanks
It’s so weird, I applied on 14th July and people who have submitted after me are getting invited but not me. I think it has to do with me uploading the documents extremely late (only reason I can think of)iamawonder wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 5:22 pmStill waiting for IDV access. Anyone received invites or access today?
Don't think that document submission date matters. I applied on 10 july and it's been a long time since i submitted docs but no invite.Hamza127 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 5:33 pmIt’s so weird, I applied on 14th July and people who have submitted after me are getting invited but not me.

I'm very interested to see if they invite August applicants (since yesterday end of July applicants received their invites) or go back to late March ("second batch" theory)...iamawonder wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 5:22 pmStill waiting for IDV access. Anyone received invites or access today?
Any update on application decision?jameswilliamson6544 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 7:55 pmhello abhardwaj1390 - do you mind sharing when you got the IDV App invite and what is your application date?abhardwaj1390 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 22, 2020 7:00 pmThanks Bro. I got it too. Good luck.
I will update you the outcome.
Have a great week and make sure dont rush and do it slowly and properly.
I will pray for you.
There is a reason lot of us wanted a separate IDV thread, but alas!
Nothing yet.

Before COVID 19 In reality, decision took 2weeks to 4months max. However, on the Gov. website it mentions that it could be up to 8 months.shahkb wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:01 amNothing yet.

Not all tier 2 applicants have been asked to email documents, only some have.Barry465 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:54 amOn the timelines subject, I've seen quite a few people say they received an email from a case worker asking for documents. Ive got my biometric appointment this afternoon and submitted my application back towards the second half of July. However I've not received an email from a caseworker asking for more documents, is this normal or do they only email some people asking for these?
Hi Jafersadeq
It could be that from now on appointments will not lead to fast decisions either... The last decisions we have seen on this forum were received on 28 August and were based on biometrics submitted up to 25 August - silence after that. I really hope they don't revert to considering it for months after biometrics received.Toxic wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 10:58 amApplied on 14th April
Got the idv app invite in the last week of August.
Submitted my documents through idv on the 28th of August.
Not sure how long it is going to take but the general consensus is that people who opted to go for the appointment got their decisions much quicker.
No clue how long it is going to take to get the decision.
28th August was the last working day before the bank holiday so wouldn't accept any decisions to be made during the bank holiday weekend. Today is the first day back after the bank holiday weekend so it would be unfair to say that they were not fast on making decisions through appointments. I hope they revert back to making decisions of the people who applied since march/april and onwards using the idv app.nash4elovek wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 11:26 amIt could be that from now on appointments will not lead to fast decisions either...

I am still waiting for my decision to be made after using the IDV app last week. Some people on other forums have heard of others getting their visas approved through the IDV app. But I haven't personally seen a post like that myself. I am guessing this must be from the earlier applicants who got invites to use the IDV app on week commencing 17th of August.
