Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful reply Zimba. About question 1, am I correct in assuming that you are suggesting that I should start the application under 'Apply as a spouse of British Citizen'? If so, will it let me start a new application under this category under the same username /...

Does this mean the documents will be checked at the backstage and still get submitted before my appointment- the thing is, now I can’t tell if they are submitted or not. Don’t think the staff will let me know before my appointment. @CULLINAN suggested patience at this stage - obviously patience did...

In short, Documents Checking Service is a waste as I have been repeatedly commenting on the forum. Anyways, it is done and dusted, sit tight and enjoy the next ride.

Thank you

Thought I’d give some experience on my biometric appointment, especially regarding the document submission if document checking service was purchased. Attended my appointment yesterday - after the photo finger prints and signature were taken, the staff said my documents have been checked and they ar...

This is quite enjoyable to read. But what did you mean ‘uploading was no longer an option’ - thought you could upload and submit additional evidence on your appointment day. Glad you liked it - swear it is true. Apologies for nor being clear - it was not an option for me as you only get to click 'S...

After playing cat/mouse with the appointments availability 28 days ago, today completed my biometrics/submission. My appointment at the Mecca of the Passport Offices : London – Her Majesty’s Passport Office Globe House, 89 Eccleston Square, Pimlico, London, SW1V 1PN was for 12:30. Was there 12:05. ...

Brp card only. You really are overthinking this process completely

Thank you. I couldn’t help! The lockdown is magnifying the anxiety.

Hi me again; I seem to have been finding a little something else to concern about as the days are approaching to my Biometric Appointment! I was just going through the AN guide again, and saw the below regarding evidence of freedom from immigration time restrictions. I automatically thought this wou...

Can't comment or recommend anything further on whether and how to pre-handle - of course, if you have all the details of destination countries you could summarise it in a separate note, plus explain why you supply the information.

Thank your for your reply, it’s much appreciated.

UK border stamps are sufficient. A cover letter is not required. Hi, thank you for your reply. The guidance regarding the document did mention the stamps ‘when entering the UK’. It’s just I read at another forum that there was one person only had re-entering UK stamps not destination stamps, and go...

Hi Appreciate if anyone could let me know about the passport stamps - are entering UK stamps sufficient if the places you visited didn’t require stamps? Also, I scanned my whole passport as an evidence of stamps - is it necessary to include a cover letter to specify which pages the stamps are on? Ma...

I was imaging some sort of way that HO knows when we depart anyway. API information filed by you with the airline at the time of taking the flight... Thank you, I didn’t know it existed. Sorry back to what worried me in the first place - am I right that re entering UK stamps are sufficient? Thanks.

No I have never been on EEA route, and not an EEA family member either. Then in that case, your passport stamps should be sufficient as your passport should have been stamped at least every time you re-entered the UK (and likely even when travelling within the EU before Brexit). Thank you. It was a...

Throughout your immigration journey, have you at any time held status under either the EEA Regulations or the Settled Status route for EEA citizens and their family members?

Thanks for your reply. No I have never been on EEA route, and not an EEA family member either.

Hi, just a week or so till my UKVCAS appointment- as you’ve seen I have submitted the documents through their website already, but just don’t know if any staff has performed document checking and my submission has gone through. But seeing the UKVCAS appointment as my last chance of uploading any doc...

Hi All I have a biometric appointment in almost 3 weeks away, but just wondered if anyone is in the same situation. The appointment I booked is at an enhanced service point so it automatically has the document checking service included (didn’t book it for the extra service it’s the only one availabl...

These days the process till the British Passport maybe exhausting given corona delays at every stage. I would suggest you save your energy and patience for the later stages. Dont worry.

Thank you!

I would suggest you just wait patiently now. I dont think this will be a big issue waiting a couple more days/weeks. When is your appointment? UKVCAS helpline will be a waste of time and money. Thank you, trying to be patient but can’t get over the fact that I paid more to have the submission stall...

Does it say submitted in front of each file name? For example “File A (submitted)”? Yes the documents are sent from your side, but maybe the DCS service will block them until they are checked. I am not sure if they will be checked before your appointment due to the DCS service. I can not guarantee ...

Your documents will be submitted at the appointment now. The people who have purchased documents checking service (DCS) or have the same on their package should upload documents up to 48hrs before appointment (to benefit from the DCS service). Log in to your UKVCAS account and see the uploads. Chec...

Hi, so I found the below paragraph on UKVCAS website: Document Checking ... ... Please note: We have introduced the option to submit your uploaded documents to UKVI before your appointment takes place. If you choose to submit your documents and you have purchased document checking, we will perform t...

The checklist does not generate LIUK in the documents list. Now, there is no certificate for LIUK - only a ref number. People who have older than (i forgot the date maybe its 2019 or something) have the certificates also. Thank you! I did the self-submission earlier, only to find out that if one ha...

1) Yes.
2) No. Only once is fine.
3) Does not matter.

Hi CULLINAN thanks for your quick and reassuring response as always. Now I wonder if I filled anything wrong in the application form so that it didn’t generate Life-in-the-UK certificate as a required document!

Hi, just getting the documents prepared for uploading - I know the below might have been asked before but I haven't quite managed to dig out a definite answer: 1. My check list doesn't include life-in-the-UK certificate. I know I have provided the ref number in the form but is it just safer to uploa...
