Great!
Access has been granted for me already (14/09 application date). I've just booked a free appointment on 05/10 in Croydon. (Victoria was showing £440 prices )
did you get an email at all? Im a few days after you! Also Cullinan - I have tried all postcodes thanks for the tip!
No, no official email. Cullinan advice is always ahead of the email from UKVCAS itselffinallyilrlr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:48 pmdid you get an email at all? Im a few days after you! Also Cullinan - I have tried all postcodes thanks for the tip!
You can upload any more documents on your own via UKVCAS website before your appointment. Book a free appointment. They will submit extra docs free of charge.finallyilrlr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 8:14 pmdo you think the free Lansdowne app will let me upload one document/cover letter or would that be a scanning document feature I have to pay for?
I have already submitted documents once on the UKVCAS website and since then I have uploaded that cover letter but i havent had the chance to submit it because I think you can only submit once
Welcome
Depends. If they are running on time then 15-20min. If there is a backlog on the day it can take longer. Keep a margin for 2 hours to be on the safe side.

It is 2345 and appointment booking system is open. Heads up for those who live North of the UK i.e Sunderland, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Unfortunately not many free appointments and just about managed to book a free one in Glasgow for Mon 05/10. Edinburgh has no free appointments at all. If I do get the email to register for the IDV app before my upcoming appointment then great. I will cancel the in-person appointment. Good luck all.andakut wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:25 amHi all,
Submitted my application on Friday 18/09. On the application form I remember selecting the re-use biometric information when I applied for my ILR in 2018. Anyway today 22/09 I received an email from the UKVI (see below). My question does this mean I will not have to go/book a biometric appointment?

You might already have access to IDV app. Download the app and check if you can sign in. If you are able to sign in you are already chosen for biometrics reuse. If you can not sign in IDV app, you will have to stick with the appointment anyways.If I do get the email to register for the IDV app before my upcoming appointment then great.
@CULLINAN I just downloaded the app and tried signing using my online UKVCAS credentials. All worke fine and in the app now. Looks like the facility is already working without email confirmation as per the service update. I was going to wait for the email. I guess not. Thank youCULLINAN wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 11:12 pm@andakut

Followed the steps and submitted everything on the app. I had already uploaded all my required documents using the online document upload and could see these in the app. Thank you and will keep everyone posted. I guess best to cancel appointment?CULLINAN wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 11:12 pm@andakut
