Urgent - application date and sopra appointment

Post by usamaasfer2019 » Sun Apr 21, 2019 2:10 pm

Dear Sir's,

My visa expiry date is 27th April 2019, I've submitted the application today and paid in full
But I won't be able to find any local sopra appointment before 1st week of May 2019!
My question is, do I have to attend sopra for documnets and biometric beore visa expirey date which is 27th or this could be done within a month from submission date ?

The date of application is the date of online submission. Your date of application is today so you have made an intime application. The biometric date is irrelevant. You get 45 working days to provide your biometrics and verification of documents. You can attend UKVCAS appointment even after your expiry does not matter.

Thanks my dear friend :)
I've lost my sleep on it as someone told me I got to attend the Sopra before visa expiry date!
So as long as I'll attend it within 45 days from date of application, it is all good ?

Quick one, what is that £ 35 arrangement, is it really worth to have it ?

Bundle of thanks

But I guess this is chargeable ? Also, I am getting free appointments in first week of May anyway so as long as I am violating any deadline could wait for it ?

If you go back to your “further actions” page UKVI account, it will tell you the last date for your biometrics. Its 45 working days but you dont wanna delay as you want your processing to start right. You can book the free appointment first week of May.
Yes london premium lounge starts from £200 per appointment.
Personally I think £35 document checking service is a waste. They will check on the appointment day anyways so really no need to waste £35.

Other members have reported the same issue as this is a system error. They reported HO contacted them later to get the correct amount of IHS. Wait for someone else to respond further.

So shall I go without paying any IHS, and mention the problem in cover letter? As if when I put 27-04-2019 visa expiry date it doesn't raise any IHS
I have tried various ways but it only initiate any IHS if I change my visa expiry date, which is principally wrong.
What is your advise on it ?
