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

Since most of us were working from home during the lockdown, not sure what UKVI and UKVCAS employees have done during that 2 month period when there was complete suspension of their services. That was the time they could have worked on developing some future solution like biometric reuse etc. to ov...

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

I spoke to the UKVI call center today and they say they typically make an announcement at the start of the month , so we should hope for something next week hopefully. Hope it relates to the Biometrics . The beginning of the month is on Sat, and clearly, this is all a big pile of ... . And there is...

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

Hi Jerry, If you qualify at the date of application then do not need to stress. Start looking for interim roles if you are in urgency of finding roles. Hi abhardwaj1390 Are you sure about this? I mean I cannot find on any official website anything about such situations. I am in a similar position -...

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

My work has just told me that I am going to be made redundant so now I'm sweating bullets. I emailed and called UKVCAS about what's going on with my application and biometric re-use progress and they just told me the same info as what was in the email they sent start of July and that they will have...

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

If you are working in an established company with good reputation and promised to deliver something important to your clients with a vague deadline (eg a few weeks), you are lucky if you can get this idea pass through the management team and wouldn't get complained by your clients. You will be extr...

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

Guys I can see the frustration now this is my plan of action while we are all waiting. As applications are now standard routes and processing time is 6 months based on their service standards. And am guessing most have received biometric reuse email and no other emails. This will be my plan of acti...

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

It gets harder and harder to be patient when your actual application and registration date is 29 March. For my visa category, they do not send emails asking for documents. So I am suspicious that I will get a decision quickly once I have my biometrics sorted out. I also submitted my docs to UKVI on...

One of them had a successful application by submitting the documents through ukvcas and the individual didnt receive any email regarding submission of documents.

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

They have to release an update before 2 August. Because it will be literally a month by then since they announced the biometric reuse policy. That's not "few weeks" but a month. A few weeks shouldn't be more than 3 weeks in my opinion. But obviously according to UKVI and/or UKVCAS it could be month...

Set o and possible redundancy

1. Yes but that has nothing to do with you applying for SET(LR). Your status remains unchanged until a new leave is granted 2. Yes 3. Yes Dear Zimba, apologies for intruding, but I have the same question - if I applied for ILR Set (O) in April 2020 and received re-use bimetric email and now waiting...
