Its good news that UKVCAS has reverted back to normal routine, IDV app is no more, but given the current situation and corona case spike, if things get worse, UKVCAS might have to use IDV app again. You never know. Hope things do not go towards a national lockdown again!!!

Hi, I can't see any appointments on the UKVCAS system. I applied in May and submitted biometrics via IDV app on the 25th of August. Just checked now and seems my account is not allowed for in-person appointments. Does anyone else have the same issue? Many thanks. Did you try different centres? Yes,...

Hi. I am going to submit my application (from AN) on the 6 October. What information do i need from my references? Is it still two? One person has to be professional and other could be a friend? They both have to be unrelated to me? https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/documents/1st_Referee_Dec...

Congratulations Atreya

@wendel 1) Carry originals only (incase a poor scan needs to be redone). No need to print and carry soft copies. Passport and appointment confirmation is mandatory only. 2) You can upload any documents you want before your appointment through UKVCAS document upload page. UKVCAS staff will submit for...

Hope so. No I didn’t buy any service

Most likely its part of the system pushing emails for applicants waiting for appointments. Dont worry.

Correct to withdraw before submitting biometrics. If you withdraw, don't you loose money? Nope, you get a refund ONLY if you withdraw before submitting biometrics. Thanks for repy. it will be full refund or partial refund? if so, it is good idea Full. Only if your current leave is valid also.

1) Correct only after 21st Sep you will be able to book.

2) If you switch to LR, you will have to provide your biometrics again.

Personal suggestion for anyone (who applied between March -July and needs an URGENT decision) & who submitted biometrics via IDV app ONLY and still waiting for more than 3 weeks: You may want to consider booking a FREE appointment now and go for dual submission to test your luck. For now free appoin...

Time to continuously refresh the UKVI page now in the hope that they re-introduce priority and super-priority or some news about it at least before I have to go through with the biometrics booking (i.e. 21st Sept) :lol: :lol: If you have already applied you can not change the service standard even ...

At what time does UKVCAS normally open for the booking? I assume people who applied just after Sep 4 deadline, including myself, will now have to compete for next week's available slots? You will have to keep checking. Official update says from 21st Sep but it may open up even before that. Note 9am...

beat me to it @CULLINAN! I have been refreshing the UKVCAS page every 10 minutes and the one time I'm doing something else they update it haha!

Sounds like priority and super-priority might make a come back sooner than expected then? But who knows!

Finally the backlog has subsided. All applicants should now meet their biometrics deadline mentioned at the further actions page @UKVI.

Goodbye IDV app except T4 !!

We are delighted to let you know that the normal UKVCAS service will resume on 21 September 2020. This means that UKVCAS customers will be able to book an appointment at a UKVCAS Service Point as soon as they register with UKVCAS and no longer need to wait to receive an invitation email from us.

Note; the IDV app was only introduced to meet the pend-up demand caused by Covid-19. UKVI are currently assessing how the IDV app will be used moving forward. Currently only Student T4 applications will use the IDV app. If UKVCAS received your application on or after 5 September 2020, we are please...
