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

@James8943 I completely understand your frustration which is clearly justified given you have been waiting for a long time. The service standard for FLR(M) is 8 weeks. However, due to covid, service standards can not be questioned.. did you try contacting HO so far? Did you receive any kind of gene...

Re: Can we reuse NARIC certificates after 2.5 years?
