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

Those who got the approval email eventually, can you please confirm whether it's clear from the email that the ILR has been granted? I've read somewhere that the email can be vague (e.g. just says the BRP will arrive soon blah blah)

Resigning right after the ILR decision letter

I'm a Tier 2 General visa holder and I'm waiting for my ILR (Set O). Is the ILR valid from the moment I receive the decision letter, or do I have to wait for the BRP card to arrive? I am in a situation where I have to resign ASAP due to my notice period. Once I receive the decision letter, is it saf...

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

They are using a phased approach perhaps. People that were given 10th as a deadline might be called next week. However, people are going after appointments like vultures and that is rightly so, they waited long enough. I think fro us who didn't receive any emails might need to wait more because the...

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

My thoughts on the so-called 'pattern'... 1) UKVI and UKVCAS has agreed clear rules on who are or are not eligible for biometric re-use 2) Profit driven, UKVCAS can quickly process all applications (to the latest one) to identify those who need to attend physical appointments. However, it finds its...

Sorry this question was probably repeated, but when we travel to the appointment, do we have to take the hard copies of the documents we already uploaded on UKVCAS?
