Fingers crossed. I hope the wait is not too long.iamawonder wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:51 pmI think people who haven't received appointments yet shouldn't panic. The email stated that the appointments will be released w/c 10 Aug.
Today is the first day when opt out applicants started getting appointments. The week still hasn't finished. Their opt out system is driven using email and not automated (manual system update involved by a person).
So, a little more patience, that's all
Hope no one gets disappointed.

Now does anyone know if any applicant applied in March got an appointment email?

I applied on 24th July and opted out on 10th August in the morning and have the same situation. no email no appointment!
This is the correct number, the reason why you got hang up is likely due to the fact that there’s a cap on your monthly spending on your mobile bills. Calling UKVCAS is extremely expensive - 4p per minute is just the standard charge, there’s also network access charge which is expensive and varies -, and the information you’ll receive is of very little help.ilr_applicant_2020 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:29 pmHello Everyone,
Can someone please let me know the number for contacting UKVCAS. I get disconnected after a few minutes every time I call the number 0844 8920232

And they were not accepting that they sent any email with deadline of 10th August but the only deadline which was given for opt out is 7th. Moreover, they were unable to find my email which I sent to opt out. So I resent these again. No news about when they would allow the biometrics of those who opted out.
Has anyone else contacted ukvcas to check if they have received your opt out emails?
Also it would be too late as the deadline has passed.
Could you please share the format of your previous email please?
Most of the SET(M) and SET(O) applicants received their decisions within a week after they submitted their biometric. Haven’t seen any report for SET(LR).youyuanannie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:58 amJust to check how long it will take for HO to send the decision email after biometric is submitted. I have seen some people getting a decision within a few days but is this a new norm? Anyone who has been waiting for a while after biometric is taken?
Cheers.
Thank you. I am nervously waiting now. Hopefully, the agony can be over soon. Do you happen to know the email address for the decision? Just in case it goes to my junk box.Aerotony wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:21 amMost of the SET(M) and SET(O) applicants received their decisions within a week after they submitted their biometric.

Did you apply under SET(LR)?
Nothing yet, I was also checking in night there was no appointments available on UKVCAS. They may send invites for remaining people by end of the day.Amy_R88 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:13 amNo. Was checking almost whole night for any update. But nothing. Has anybody tried looking for appointments on ukvcas yet, might be they have opened the system for those opting out on deadline date of 10th August and emails are not pushed through the system yet. Just a thought!

If you give them a ring today would you ask about those customers who haven't got the invitation for biometrics and opted out before deadline date of 10th 5pm... it would be highly appreciated.ilr_applicant_2020 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 9:29 amThank you LZ_90LZ_90 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 12:11 amThis is the correct number, the reason why you got hang up is likely due to the fact that there’s a cap on your monthly spending on your mobile bills.

good stuff, did you apply in july and opt out before Aug 7?jerrysk8 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 9:45 amI only just checked my emails this morning and got the appointment email last night. The closest appointment in London was 28 Aug but managed to get an appointment in Croydon 18Aug. The relief. Starting to see the finishing line now.

Hi ilr_applicant, You do not need a calling plan. You just need to put some credit in your account. Probably good to enable auto-top up in case the call goes on for a while, but I only needed the initial credit I put in my account. Total call cost with a 9 person queue at 10am was around £3.50ilr_applicant_2020 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:08 amHi strong_and_stable,strong_and_stable wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 11:12 amJust FYI, I've found that the cheapest way to call UKVCAS is by Skype.

Does this work by choosing a UK calling plan for calling UKVCAS through Skype or do I need to buy any other subscription?
