Hi All, Applied for Naturalization on ILR + 1 year route, submitted document using IDV app on 04/09/2020, and received email from MMSTFCTCALLNOTES ( 14/09/2020) "Dear We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not pos...

Question from a mate, guys. He has booked an appointment for Monday the 28th but is going on a business meeting in Brussels. Can he change it on the UKVCAS website. From what I can see on my appointment that's a No. He would have to cancel and rebook for another day. Is that true? What do others see...

And another one.... day after biometric appointment at UKVCAS I receive approval email. I am sure that IDV works for some, but there is a clear pattern of people submitting IDV and waiting for weeks and yet after physical appointment they get decision in day or two, sometimes within hours. Anyway, ...

thanks, mate, if you hadn't booked your Friday's appointment, would have asked you to double-check by selecting Leeds centre. will wait to see your result on Friday before booking myself in. It's really a joke and not sure if HO is aware that the app submission isn't sent to them on time. I called ...

I have news! Not sure if you saw my previous post, did the initial IDV app submission on 27/08. Attended my in-person biometric today 23/09 10:15am and then got my approval email today at 1pm. That's 2.5hrs roughly. Not sure if my in-person appt pushed mine or it was already being considered. here'...

No free appointments in Manchester!!!

Yeah it's very difficult getting anything in Manchester. Try Sheffield and Birmingham. You may have to travel a bit for this one

I applied on 1/07/2020, and was eligible for biometric reuse. receieved invitation and submitted biometrics via IDV app on 28/08/2020. Looking at the trend on this forum, I was tempted to book in person appointment. This thought of booking in person appointment came to mind so many times, but at th...

Since I have waited 3 weeks for IDV app decision. I have booked a FREE appointment at croydon for Friday. Will keep you posted.

Same here. I have waited too long for any correspondence of any form. I have booked us all a reduced £69 appointment at Sheffield for next Friday. Will see how it goes

Yet to receive a decision. Yet to receive any correspondence at all

Hello guys, I have been quietly following this forum and other forums. And I think I have noticed a trend regarding the order in which NATIONALITY applications are being decided. I have noticed that since the beginning of the last week only those applicants who submitted their applications in May A...

UKVI will send updates to customers with an application in progress over the next 2 weeks to let you know what’s happening with your application. Please be reassured that your immigration status is not affected while your application is in progress. @ CULLINAN, does this apply to all applications?

Kind request please. If anyone finds a free appointment slot in the Birmingham area or with 40miles, please post here. I'm happy to drive anywhere within 40miles for the biometrics appointment. Thank you

Hi All, Me and my family submitted the visa extension application on 15th April 2020 and still haven't received anything from home office or UKVCAS. We havent been able to book a biometric appointment as no slots are available. We are currently on the 10 Year Family Route and then we will get the I...

Important : From 21 September onwards, ALL customers will need to book an appointment at one of our Service Points. The IDV app will only be available to some T4 students [/highlight] That is concerning. I just hope they didn't mess up leaving us IDV app users in limbo. Same here. I think they have...

@heyaheya, when did you apply?

Congratulations tauqeer81 🥳 Congrats tauqeer81. It seems that there is no order to the process of the applications. Its really what HO CW seems fit. I know this is not a timeline but just a little info. I applied for myself, my wife and three children and this was in March. Struggled to get appoint...

In addition, the core centres serving biometrics have decided to charge a fee on top of the £19.20. Some goes as high as £160 for core centres. Arent the core centres meant to be free for the basic document submission and biometrics? Yes. Maybe not in a day or two or when is best for you but if you...

@Ritchie12 Facial image and passport photo submission is part of the biometrics. UKVI is only using your old fingerprints. You are using UKVCAS service i.e. IDV app to provide your biometrics. Why should you not pay?? @ CULLINAN, why call is it called BIOMETRIC REUSE then? I get that a facial image...

Here is a question, I have finished the IDV app submission after receiving an invite just 5mins ago. What happens to the £19.20 for the biometrics if the applicant(s) uses the IDV app? If we can apply for a refund, when and how do we apply for a refund? Any help will be appreciated. Just FYI I have...
