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

Are there anyone else in this forum who are July applicants and still waiting for decision like me ? I applied for 5 year SET(O) with a dependant, went for biometrics appointment on 18th August, but haven't heard anything since then. It seems that majority of people get their decisions within days....

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

Hi everyone -- is there anyone who submitted biometrics in August who are still waiting for a decision letter? I'm a June applicant and deliberately opted out of the app based on the implication that a decision would come quicker w/ an in-person appointment. I have an exceedingly straightforward ap...

Hi all,

Just wanted to share that I just got my ILR approval email. It's been so stressful but it gets better. Wish you all the best of luck!

Thanks
Can you share your timeline on the timelines thread. Which route were you?

UKVCAS Refunds

Hi all,
In the madness of the last week, I cancelled appointments I paid for a couple of times and rebooked. Can I expect to get refunds on the amount paid? Does UKVCAS do refunds?

I agree 100% with everything that's being said. I dont think Sopra Steria should be able to renege on something so vital. We need to be given access as promised since we've opted out. It's farcical and I too had set expectations around a timeline of getting an appointment over the next 2 weeks. Thei...

I'm sorry but this backlog is artificial. UKVCAS needed to have on the 22nd of June (when they reverted to paid appointments again) done the following. 1. Opened up the booking system for 4 months rather than the current 1 month system. 2. They should have given people from 27 March to 30 April 1 we...

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

My honest thought is that they will open up booking today. The reason for them saying to expect the email this week is that for some reason their mail servers seem to be very slow and appears to send out emails over several days. I also think that if it was not today, 5pm seems to be an odd deadlin...

If you are in the reuse pool, you wont be able to see the appointments even if there was availability So I can only see once I choose opt out ? Thanks Not really.
