Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

I've received a 'your application is still being processed and we can't tell you when a decision will be made' email today which I can only assume means that my file hasn't even been touched yet! Beyond frustrating - coming up to a month since my super priority appointment next week. Yeah I had the...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

After the standard email from UKVI today, I called the same number with option 4 and 1 today. A very rude lady told me that i can only call back after 1 month now as there is nothing they can do. Also, when i said, I want to complain about this helpline she gave me the same complaints email address ...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

does anyone know of UKVI working calendar over Christmas? Is anything likely to happen in the week December 24th-28th or will the whole thing be a write off? My guess is that they are open 24th, 27-28 but don't think anyone is actually going to "WORK". Maybe 1-2 approvals perhaps but don't expect m...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Just got a slightly different standard reply at 10:28 am today after my 3rd escalation 2 days ago : Thank you for contacting UKVI Contact Centre.

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

probably a silly question but regarding the £35 document checking extra service...how does Sopra Steria know I’ve completed the uploads? Or am I just required to have it complete within 2 days of appointment? Thank you Highly recommend not using the document checking service. All they do is check i...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

After reading the thread today and feeling a bit desperate, hopeless and frustrated I have just now written to my local MP.

Let's hope I receive some update now!!!

Getting sick and tired of the constant waiting.

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Update from me, not really an update tbh but still thought to share. I raised a formal complaint using the email address and asked for either an update on my case or refund me my money back for the delay. I called HO again and they knew me from my number already and found out that I last called on 1...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Hi everyone, Can someone please remind me, if an appointment is booked with Sopra Steria, are you allowed to change booking if something comes up earlier? Or do you have to cancel current appointment and re-book? As far as I understand the system (and please don't quote me on this) you can only can...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Just an update, got 2nd email from UKVI saying that my application is within service standard and bla bla bla. I think I am going to wait and then ask for refund once I get my ILR next year (if I do at all), will ask my MP in Jan also. Not much I can do I think as the escalation process is just a bo...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

I got a call today and they left a voicemail as I was unable to take the call due to a meeting and they said that i will be called back again. I am dreading the thought of them saying the same thing to me as well. Hi - I applied for ILR via tier2 general 5 year route on Nov 26th at croydon super pri...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

I think it is totally random how things are being done. The new system is probably causing problems and there aren't proper methods of escalation established I am assuming. That bit about checks and HMRC etc. is not true, my application is extremely straightforward. 5 years with 1 employer and 3 mon...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Called again today at 14:31 and xxxxx picked up. He said to wait till end of the day today as I called yesterday at 2:11PM and HO could reply to the end of the day today (if at all) and to call tomorrow as per the escalation.

So... fingers crossed.

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Just called again today at 11:00 am after my call yesterday to them where they updated my application to 24 hours service standard. I was told to wait until 2:11PM today as that is when I called yesterday for HO to come back. I am guessing that maybe HO has made an error with 24 hour super priority ...
