The second point to note is that, while I agree every case is different, judging by the timeline thread and this thread it seems at least 80% of cases have 'quick decisions' (7 days or less). We've all forked out the same £2.4k application fee plus whatever other appointment fees UKVI has milked fr...

Hey everyone, August applicant here. Just tried to log into IDV and managed! They started opening for August applicants now. Haven’t yet received the email though.

Thank you so much for this tip!!!
I just booked an appointment for 7 Sept.
No email yet...

Has anyone received IDV access emails yesterday evening or today?

I wonder how many more people from March-July are waiting for invites...

I along with my husband and four children applied on 19 June. Until today, we have not received an invite to use IDV app. I tried to log in the app but it never works... The new flash update mentions that there were problems with group applications, so maybe that's why. They should send you an invi...

Frustrating wait continues for the IDV invite! IDV invites have almost dried up it seems for the last 3 days. Very few people have reported invites yesterday. UKVCAS has not even posted a new updated explaining the current situation. Are they going to send all the pending invites on the last day (7...

On the other hand, those who did not opt-out were auto-tagged as requiring manual verification. How about those applicants who were never asked if they want to opt out (August)? It would be so unfair to require us all to go through the longest route with no choice. I still think that submitting bio...

You're not given the option to book an appointment unless you experience issues when using the app

This sounds horrible and I really hope it's not true.
My only hope was to book an appointment as soon as I receive the email and be out of this vicious IDV cycle!

I don't think it contradicts what UKVCAS have said. I think UKVI have a team going through the IDV data, not UKVCAS.

Hi guys so I direct msg UKVCAS yesterday via Twietter asking when i can get an email invite to use the app if I applied on monday 31st Aug. and this is the respond I have received: UKVCAS: Hello , thanks for your query. You won’t be able to book an appointment at the moment. This is because UKVI ar...

Just to update my timeline for anyone interested. Made application on August 5th, FLR(M) Got email "Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app" with eligibility saying invitation will be sent by 14th September. Still no email. I'm in the same boat. My theory is now that they won't start sending us emails until...

FB posts suggests Biometric appointment are now available for those who have made payment between 15 - 28 Aug. Someone got a notification email and can see slots open. This is incorrect news ! I applied on 18th August and I can not see any appointments on UKVCAS website. You might be in the re-use ...

Quick update everyone that I received the IDV invite email about 30 mins back. Just saw it now when I was doing my random email check. It’s just a matter of time that the rest of you will get it.

Congrats, this is great news! Hopefully all "second batch" get their soon

I just noticed someone on FB reported getting an IDV invite today with the application date 16 July.

Just FYI

Maybe they are really going through the remaining ones manually...

This is good. It means they’ve seen your name in the queue so this is at least reassuring. All the best Thanks for the direction. I have just DM'd UKVCAS on twitter. Let's see if they respond. To my surprise UKVCAS were really quick in sending their response but was quite an expected reply. Here is...

Hi All, Just a bit of information if that helps anyone. I have spoken to my case worker really nice and very helpful. It looks like there is a separate team who is currently checking information submitted via IDV app and until they confirm all good to case worker he/she can’t do much but wait. It m...

I just saw this on one other website, so sharing in case it may be useful: "I just spoke to the home office on the phone, they said that it will take 2-3 weeks after submitting through idv app and if we don't hear back in that timescale, they will escalate your case with the caseworker directly. Hop...

Did you get your decision yet? I also enrolled for biometrics of the 19th August at Croydon and I'm yet to receive a decision. It could be that they are deciding nearer to the current leave expiry date. My current one expires 12th Oct october. I enrolled my biometrics on 19th of August for set M, b...

Applied on 14th April Got the idv app invite in the last week of August. Submitted my documents through idv on the 28th of August. Not sure how long it is going to take but the general consensus is that people who opted to go for the appointment got their decisions much quicker. No clue how long it...

Still waiting for IDV access. Anyone received invites or access today? I'm very interested to see if they invite August applicants (since yesterday end of July applicants received their invites) or go back to late March ("second batch" theory)... It also seems that IDV is not the quickest way to ge...

April applicant and still waiting, how about the rest of you who were waiting from March, April and May have you had any luck this week? Looks like they’ll get through all the applicants till August in a couple of days. I don’t expect mine to come through till they finish inviting what I’m calling ...

Hi All, Just received an email that I am eligible for IDV app- and invite to use will be sent week by 14th of September. I had applied 29th of July through solicitor and he said he has been unable to book or find me any appointments from then until now. he said everything looks booked up until begi...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed before. I looked back through a week's worth of posts and couldn't see it mentioned. I've logged into the app successfully and am pleased to see that documents I previously uploaded to the website are there. However, it states I must upload at least one ...
