Hello has anyone who can reuse biometrics receive any follow up from ukvcas ?
No, and this is so unfair, I applied on the 1 April, been waiting all this time and since the announcement and email from 3 July that we are in this re-use category heard nothing. Also called to UKVCAS last Friday and asked them when actually we receive these instructions, and they said eee, well, soon, shortly or a few weeks...
I really lost my sleep, come on, 4 months to wait for nothing, and meanwhile, people who applied in June received an email with links to book an appointment, absolutely strange system.

Can the June applicants who received the email already, please confirm the first alphabet of your email address?

I am speculating the email is pushed through in alphabetic order within the date range and not the actual date of registration within the date range!

I am an alphabet H, so I am assuming people who already received emails will be from A,B,C and so on earlier alphabets.

Anyone from June, did you get a biometrics reuse email? Apparently, for now, all emails reported are for book an appointment.

Are you using the link in the email? Did you try to login from UKVCAS direct from the website?

Try using some other explorer. If still not working, give a call to UKVCAS, they will sort it out. I am at least able to log in my account all fine.

My first letter of the email is "v" so would be towards the very end of the emails then.

What was the date you applied?

I am assuming it might also be that applicants who are chosen to attend biometrics appointment are receiving emails first and then biometrics reuse emails will follow for the left lot.

I submitted mine on 22nd June and I am an alphabet H, someone who reported to have received an email yesterday was alphabet B. If some more applicants who received confirm, we can probably make a trail.

From the looks of it, most likely system pushes in alphabetical order. For June applicants who received email already, please can you confirm which alphabet are you?

Which alphabet your email ad begins with not your surname?

hmm not sure then, it was just a speculation which does not seem to match. Maybe, then applicants who are chosen to attend biometrics have received emails first and biometrics reuse emails will follow for the other lot. No one so far has reported a biometrics reuse email.

Thanks, my speculation for alphabetical order does not seem to match. Most likely, applicants who are receiving emails are the ones who are chosen to attend biometrics first.

I applied on 22nd June too (for two people in one application). (email starts with p, I know the logic is proven wrong now).
No email yet, they had issue with my index finger during ILR as it had a cut so I assume they will need my biometrics again but based on current hypothesis I am hopeful no biometrics is needed for us.

BTW, what text do you guys search in your email box to make sure its not lost? is searching UKVCAS in inbox and spam folder enough?

I applied on 22nd and was hoping to get an appointment so I can get done with it. But seems like I might be chosen for reuse also given the trail.

Just look for recent emails in your inbox?

Thank you, I tried using other browsers too but with no luck. Anyone having problems calling with the UKVCAS support? It seems the line is constantly busy?
