You won't see any appointments unless you are invited by UKVCAS.

any idea when they'll open it for July applications?
It should be from Mid day today!!!
Most probably they will call July applicants to book appointments from 3rd to 7th according to the pattern of opening up new biometric centres!!
As we know they love backlogs so they can make more money, I reckon they'll wait until they see how many people opt out to use their services so they can argue March to Jul opt out backlog, Jul backlog + Aug backlog... and it goes on like that forever

Thanks for info. Can you please provide us the details why you can see the appointments? Did you opt out from bio reuse pool? What is your application and when did you apply?

I think, the video uploaded is a third party, where the guy is telling about no appointments. Obviously, if you are in the reuse category, you will see no appointments. Nothing special there.

Just search youtube, I am assuming, that video was uploaded 5 hours ago, is probably the one OP mentioned.

There is nothing special about this video. Obviously, no one can access the appointments UNTIL they are invited. Anyone else would see blank slots. Appointments are opening up in phases. However, people who are chosen to attend biometrics have access to quick appointments.

That is great to hear , all locations including some in London ?! Below the submit button ( when you write a post ) there is Options/ Attachments in Blue you could attach a photo there ..!

Thank you . Are you one of those people who is not in the reuse category and hence invited to appointments?

Funny to see people who applied in July asking when they will be able to book appointment when people who applied end of march still stuck and left behind!!
yep, waiting from the beginning of Apr...

May I ask if you are in the re-use group and if you decided to wait or opt-out? I believe appointment is the way to make money for them, so 97% sure there will be lots of them for people who opt-out, and they will most likely be expensive 8) I think it is a quicker way...

Tried to ring UKVCAS, stayed on the line for nearly 2 hours, charged me tons of money but no one picked up the phone - this company is absolutely a joke! Rang Home Office, again, spoke to some useless people who can’t you tell you a thing, and he sounded like as if he just got out of bed...

I believe if you opt-out they will send you the link and you will see availability, I am interested if appointments will be available in various centres/cities, or only some particular... I am sure there will be plenty of them-considering that they all are paid one

The home office man sounded like my grandpa, he even asked me what is “IDV app” - no joke!I was completely speechless. The incompetence displayed by this country’s public service is truly eye opening. They would have been sacked immediately in Singapore.

That means it will take them more then 2 weeks to process the applications they received during the 4 weeks period- despite the fact that most of the application centers were opened and most of the applicants are still waiting for the ‘reuse’ app that is not yet exits. It’s a national disgrace.
