Free appointments

Sorry if this is a really basic q..

Are there any free appointments? Can only see paid ones at https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/appointments

Do I need to check at specific times?

Or certain locations to get a free one?

All the ones I see are £132 or £260 etc..

A few questions on JR please. 1. Once UKVI accepts the pre-action protocol, reconsiders decision etc and finally asks for passport. How long do applicants have to submit passport? 2. Can it be delayed by 3/4 months as UKVI took more than 5/6 months for reconsideration and applicant is in the US now ...

It's the app or an appointment, not both. Simply use the app as directed.

Original documents are not sent to ukvi and this has been the case since novemver 2018.
sorry one more question - do we need to submit photos of all pages of the original passport? Don't remember doing this ever before.

Thanks will get him to apply for reconsideration.

Re: IHS fees for spouse visa as sterling falls

are you including the application fees within the number?

Fees in local currencies are currently 15 or so % higher as UKVI is still using the old exchange rates and £ has depreciated but this will not be anywhere close to the number you are quoting
