Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

To IDV only applicants who are still waiting out there... I found this Freedom of Information Act disclosure online... It is not possible to say how long on average it took biometrics to be reinjected. This is because the capability was launched in phases and applications using the IDV App were not ...

That’s not true... back in September and October there were a lot of people who got it after one week of appointment but many others have been waiting. And since October I don’t think people are getting approvals within a week anymore. I think I will email my MP today. Even though I am well within ...

Any IDV-only Set Os still waiting here, or am I the only one left? :) I'm still waiting; August 6 application and Sept 10 IDV submission. I have two theories why it's taking so long for me: 1. Never pressed "submit" on my docs in UKVCAS, so the earliest anyone could have started looking at my case ...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

I disagree that Set O applications are processed up to date. I am a Sept applicant, used IDV, my biometric appointment was cancelled by UKVCAS two weeks ago - I am still waiting for a decision. Not sure what I can do at this point, very depressed and tired of waiting. Anyone in a similar situation ...

This morning, it says “details do not match record.” I thought there was finally some movement, and a decision was finally forthcoming. But then an hour later I checked again ...
