Same but meant to apply in June. moderator editAnILRApplicant wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:47 amI am applying for my ILR in July - I'm very concerned about the appts cancellations and was wondering if someone can let me know if the postponed biometrics appointments take place or if they're postponed again
Thanks CR001, I understand they're closed - I'm just curious about those who have had their appointments postponed to later in May&June to find out if their appointments moved again.

Hello, my appointment was postponed from 30 March to 11 May. So far as per my account details the appointment hasn't been postponed any further. Hopefully we will get some good news that UKVCAS are taking measures to allow social distancing and still receive appointments.AnILRApplicant wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:10 pmThanks CR001, I understand they're closed - I'm just curious about those who have had their appointments postponed to later in May&June to find out if their appointments moved again.

Same thing here my appointment is on 20/5. Still has not been delayed.amrotab123 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:21 pmHello, my appointment was postponed from 30 March to 11 May.

Standard service is the same timeframe, regardless of what application you are making.EPW wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 11:37 amHi everyone,
When appointments become available to book can you advise if priority becomes available? I’m looking to understand how big the backlog will be come June! I have travel arrangements (currently not cancelled) for late July for a wedding I am involved in so really need the priority appointment when they become available otherwise I may have to make the decision to extend my ancestry visa rather than go for ILR as the process Times I believe are quicker
If you are NOT applying for ancestry visa extension (and you will be applying for ILR) bear in mind that the ILR has a standard timeframe of 6 months under all the routesEPW wrote: ↑Tue Apr 21, 2020 3:15 pmGov website says ancestry visa general decision time is 8 weeks for standard - obviously will be more given backlog. I won’t be submitting until the last minute to try and get a priority appt if by any possible reason they become available. So sad for everyone that has prepared for their applications in the best way possible and everything is now delayed and causing a lot of stress to people
My appointment initially on March 30th and got postponed to 11th May is now postponed further to 18th May. I hope this new date will hold given that it was pushed for one week only, maybe UKVCAS are taking measures to reopen their centres soon.amrotab123 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:21 pmHello, my appointment was postponed from 30 March to 11 May.

Super priority - premium lounge. I just thought that it will be easier for UKVCAS to ensure distancing measures in the premium lounge.
Priority service is chosen before you submit your application or book an appointment. If you do not get such option, then your application will be a standard service and you will NOT be charged for priority service. There is NO upgrade option later. You either must pay for priority service before you submit or else it will be standard. The idea that 'I intend to use/upgrade to priority' after submitting a standard application is meaninglessMrBarry465 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 4:06 pmHi all, just to clarify - at the moment there is no option to select those priority options. But should we still be applying and paying anyway, even if we intend to utilise them?
My thoughts were just that there would be no point applying for something if we want to use priority.
My initial appointment for 30.03.2020 postponed to 11.05.2020 and now again postponed to 18.05.2020; this is really getting irritating and frustrating now!amrotab123 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 12:00 pmMy appointment initially on March 30th and got postponed to 11th May is now postponed further to 18th May.

May I ask where is your appointment? mine is in london croydon
You must apply online BEFORE your visa expires. You will only have the standard service option at present. Later on there is no upgrade process anymore. You only have the option available to you when you choose and pay your application online.Ehd1202 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:36 pmHello!
LTR set to expire 4 May but was planning on getting super priority service which is obviously not available and I could not apply in time. Apply for ILR now, will my current visa extend until 31 May? Or do I have to apply before 4 May and choose standard processing? Any idea if they will let us then elect super premium once the Centres re open?
Set to travel in Sept at this point.
Agree this seems like as essential service and could be done using social distancing measures.
Thanks for your time!
