Looking at one of the posts that was shared on ILPA's tweet, it says they will ramp up to 4,000 applications per day (i.e. 20,000 per week) - so the question is will the app not be working on the weekends?...

People have literally applied in MARCH and APRIL and are still waiting to enrol their biometrics. People really need to start thinking beyond themselves for a change. easy... noone said we should be put before you, don't try to find a scapegoat to yourself. either divert your anger to whoever you'r...

so glad that things are moving and long waited applicants are now finally making appointments. but on the other hand it feels like they are working towards making another backlog. I hope they won't keep August applicants waiting until September.

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

It's apparent that people who weren't in reuse category were lucky enough to get appointments and decisions. People who are in the reuse category and applied in March-May effected the most. It feels like now to clean that mess up, they will need to pause on all August applicants (regadless of reuse ...

Most probably they will call July applicants to book appointments from 3rd to 7th according to the pattern of opening up new biometric centres!! As we know they love backlogs so they can make more money, I recko...
