There are a few people i think. Please check the thread in reverse order.NoUsername wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 9:00 pmStill no email, no access to IDV. Am getting bonkers
Is there anyone applied before 19/05 still waiting for the invite? Hopefully I am not the only one.
I am a June 12th applicant who opted out on 7th Aug and no updates yet.recentgrad wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 4:57 pmAre there any other March/April/May applicants still waiting for a biometric appointment? I applied on 14 April through a solicitor and opted out of IDV on 07 Aug, but there has been no progress after that. Solicitor claims no emails have come since then.
Is anyone else in a similar situation, or has got it resolved? I saw here that many others were also having the issue of solicitor not receiving emails.
i applied on april 1.

Is there something I am missing out or is this an actual unfairness ? Rage !

I believe no one yet. In another forum one person claimed that he received his decision, that's because he contacted Home Office because of an emergency.ROHITSHAH4 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:50 amHas anyone got the decision yet who has submitted the photo via the IDV App?
Same situation, and I’m a March applicant - submitted on the 19th Of August. I plan to write to my MP this weekend to raise it with the Home Office, although HO takes about 20 days to respond.shahkb wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:46 pmI do understand that we are gradually getting IDV app invited but I dont understand that April applicants (Me) who submitted all requirements via IDV app on 24th August havent got decisions yet but July applicants who went to biometric appointments after 24th August have already got decisions !

I've seen from Twitter one applicant who used IDV to complete his submittion on 23 Aug has received approval email yesterday. not sure it was escalated by HO. I am also waiting.shahkb wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:46 pmI do understand that we are gradually getting IDV app invited but I dont understand that April applicants (Me) who submitted all requirements via IDV app on 24th August havent got decisions yet but July applicants who went to biometric appointments after 24th August have already got decisions !

If you have applied and paid online, and waiting for an appointment or IDV invite, your immigration status remains the same as per the guidelines.jigars143 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:15 amHi All
I applied for my wife's visa and payment was deducted on 11th on UKVI. On the same day i registered on UKVCAS but i submitted documents on 16th. With the new guidelines issued on 25th (link below) will we get the email from UKVCAS by today 27th August or will we have to wait for September. It is confusing as to what they actually mean by the below statement:
"For those of you who applied between 1 – 14 August 2020, we will be sending you an email to outline next steps. This will let you know if you are eligible to use the IDV app or whether you need to book a UKVCAS appointment."
> Watch out for an email called; ‘UKVCAS - book an appointment now’ by 27 August 2020
> If you are eligible for the IDV app, the email will be called; ‘Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app’ and will have instructions for next steps and will arrive by 30 August 2020.

As I have not received any email today what will happen in this instance. Her BRP is expiring 6th of September.
Appreciate your help as always
Your application date would count as 11/8.jigars143 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:15 amHi All

I am in the same situation like you. Enrolled my biometrics via IDV app on 19/08/2020 (with 28/03/2020 - Application date) and still no outcome. People opted out and enrolled their biometrics with UKVCAS after a week got their decisions.JS123 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:16 amSame situation, and I’m a March applicant - submitted on the 19th Of August.

Looks like you might be chosen for IDV and should get an email by 30/8 confirming that. In some cases, emails don't arrive at all. Try logging in and check for appointments if you think you don't qualify for reuse.
Don't worry about BRP expiry. You can stay until you get a decision once you have applied. Only thing is you can't travel outside UK.
Moderators can confirm if my understanding is correct.
Super priority or Priority service, if that is what you are asking about, ie. quicker decision, is available to ALL immigration applications. The service is currently suspended so you won't get the option to select and pay for this. It is a UKVI service and not a UKCVAS Sopra Steria (biometrics) service.
