Hi ,
I have submitted my application on March 24th and paid the fee hoping to get an appointment before COVID shutdown only to realise UKVCAS already stopped taking new appointments.
I got a default email acknowledgement and case ID from Home Office on March 30th stating that my application is received and is being considered.
I have two queries and your advise:
1. On my online application, there is this note:
Attend an appointment to provide your documents and biometrics by 29 May
You must book and attend an appointment with UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (UKVCAS) to provide your evidence and biometrics (fingerprints and facial photograph). We will send you a reminder after this date if you have not attended an appointment
Not sure if I should worry about this. It says I must book appointment but also says Home Office would send a reminder. I haven't received any. Should I send an email?
2. UKVCAS is now operating with few centres, but I do not see any slots available (I am applying from Newcastle and the local centre is not open if that matters). Anyone managed to get appointments lately? I do not see any posts in this regard. Do I need to wait?
Thanks in Advance,
Gona
