This is very weird of them.They couldn't even be bothered to check all the documents I uploaded to start with and just started asking for all the documents on the checklist one by one and scanning them, even though I had made it clear that I had already uploaded everything several times.

BTW why did you upload 43 documents?! SET(LR) has very minimum documents required. Maybe 4/5 files onlyAlso because when I went for my appointment I had uploaded 43 documents and the guy didn't check all of them,
Congrats! Just wondering if yoy received any other comminications after contacting UKVI? Or did you simply asked to look into your case and got appoval the next day? ThanksMaddy_1992 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:22 amMorning guys,
Wanted to share my experience.
Applied for my ILR (Set (o) Tier 2, 5 year route) On 27/7. Went for my biometrics appointment on 09/09 in London. I have never used the app and opted out of re-use of biometrics at the beginning of August.
Last night, I was playing round on the UKVI website looking for a way to contact the HO. Even though I applied from within the UK, i managed to send an enquiry to the HO using the option of "applied from outside the uk" asking to look into my case. You have to pay £5.95 to send a request.
This morning i received my decision email from Atlas and the right to work page was updated almost immediately. I don't know if my paid enquiry played a part but it may have done so.
Hello!i received an invitation using the app,i applied using the app and submitted day after i cannot open the app it's always error saying that theres no mobile cases..i dont know if i need to get a personal biometric appointment.ksrangal wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 11:25 amHello,
I have install UKVCAS IDV APP and when I try to login it says "This account has no cases enabled for Mobile Access".
Recently, I have filled in MN1 application form for my daughter to register her as British Citizen. However, there are not appointment available via Sopra Streia account.
Please suggest what I'm suppose do further ?
Cheers!!!
Does your phone support the app?

Tier 1 Ent is a complex route. Pre-covid majority received decisions within 6 months. I got mine in 4 months. If it goes past 6 months - there is a possibility of an interview.QSDanik wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:28 pmStill waiting for decision

You can test your luck via dual submission. There is no guarantee it would speed up the decision but there is no harm. You may consider it.Thankyou Cullinan,
I am reading others comments, I was thinking to book biometric appointment even if i have used IDV. Do you think it help or not ?
I submitted 80+ documents for ILR (LR) based on the lawyers of my Big4 company. I knew that it was over the top but I had to do it.CULLINAN wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 9:03 pmCULLINAN wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 8:45 pm@ajitu92

All unnecessary documents. For SET(LR) only Passport(s), BRP, LIUK, English Test/UK Degree are needed.

These documents included proof of address every 2 months for all these 10 years, proof of relationship, letter of support from employer etc. (as I changed from Tier 4, to PSW, to Tier 2 and finally to spouse) ... anyway I have now been waiting for 3 weeks after IDV submission and I don't think this large amount of documents would help, instead it would slow down as the case worker will have to do more checks.
Good luck to All!!!
It was very weird of them indeed. I know that Set LR has minimal mandatory document requirements, but the 43 documents was just me erring on the side of caution. So I would rather include all the documents in the checklist (though it is generic, I know) and the caseworker not need them, than the caseworker looking for them and not finding them. If they don't need them, it won't matter. All the passports, BRP, LIUK and UK degree were in, and I added a note in the cover letter stating why I included the other documents.CULLINAN wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:58 pmAll unnecessary documents.

1. No there is no tracking link anymore, hasn't been for at least a couple of years.
Similiar experience with me. Just back home from the biometric appointment (25/09/2020 @8:00 am). Took about 10-15 minutes as I pre-uploaded docs to UKVCAS. They told me the docs were all good.awesomeagni wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 11:28 pmHi Guys,
Attended biometric appointment yesterday (24/09/2020 @ 12:30 PM).
It went through fine - took 15 minutes tops as all my docs were uploaded on UKVCAS site.
So it was just the fingerprints and photo that was taken apart from scanning the passport once on their reader.
Awaiting decision letter now.
All the best everyone.
Thanks.

That is not true I think, the random order of decisions speaks volumes
I went for dual submissions like them and I am still waiting. I am pretty sure that they are not picking the applications from a queue. Possibly there is a pool of applications that they are choosing from randomly.
SET (O) is definitely quicker to process than SET(M) generally.
10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th of Sep They were mainly dealing with August applications either SET(O) or SET(M). So August applicants overall were the luckiest with few exceptions of course.
15th and 16th Sep Applications approved were from June, July and August for both SET(O) and SET(M).
17th and 18th Applications approved were from April, June, July and August for both SET(O) and SET(M)
19th and 20th Sep (weekend) Applications approved were from June, July and September for only for SET(O).
21st, 22nd and 23rd of Sep Applications approved were from March, April and May for SET(M) and April, June & July for SET(O).
Today 24th Sep Only SET(O) applications From July, August and September.
I am a Set(M) 04/09 applicant, I just feel that I am now being put in a long queue. For your case hithlum I think your decision email might be imminent as you applied on 25/08 and they seem to be done with March, April, May and probably June applications for SET(O). Hope this helps.

Hi,
I submitted my application on 22/06/2020 & Bio-metric submitted on 22/08/2020. Still i have not got any decision on my application. Case worker asked few documents with my employer on 25/08/2020 which my employer provided on the day itself but no reply afterwards. I followed with them twice but no reply at all. Some of my friends who applied after me got the decision . Could some one suggest me how i can push them or any idea when they will take decision ? I have been furloughed from April and missing opportunity because of this is really frustrating.

This contact point is pretty useless. I called them if there was way to request for urgent decision as I need to apply for dependents visa extension. They were not very helpful and they just read out the stuff from gov.uk. Better to play the waiting gameThis is the contact point that I've found for ILR

How do we know who is our case worker? I got the generic delay email before from an email address "person name@homeoffice.gov.uk".

I called them and they said they don't have access to see application status. They advised me to follow up with case worker which also i did but no reply. My application is straight forward Tier 2 Set (o) 5 years . I dont know why they are taking ages to conclude. Do you think it is because of furlough ? It is really hard these guys who works in home office to predict . Some of my friends who furloughed with me got decision.
