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

Hi all. Due to unforeseen circumstances I missed my train and now will be 15 minutes late for my appointment. I DM’d UKVCAS and they cannot say if I will be let in. Anyone know what usually happens if an applicant is late? Thanks May sound silly but we once forgot about our newborn's biometric appo...

Hint: If someone who is eligible to apply and is planning to apply very soon in the next 2/3 days, I would say try to apply before 15th Sep. Previous pattern shows there might be a biometrics date cut off for applications made before 15th Sep. You may save some wasted time for biometrics turn in th...

Not heard of any IDV invites yet. Has the app turned nocturnal since Sunday? :shock: Seems like UKVCAS is on a break. Maybe the invites resume in a day or two. Don't want to ring any alarm bells but looking at the pattern, It could be that UKVCAS has already sent IDV invitations to everyone till Ju...

UKVCAS Service Point Status Update 28/8/20. https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/flash-message-detail?flashmessageId=56249 Looks like the appointments are aplenty now. They need to open the bookings for Aug old and new applicants. With IDV App being free, I guess Sopra will have to close fee extra centers star...

Thank you for reply - the problem is that solicitor used his email and I assume there are many applications submitted using it. I regret I didn`t insist to use my personal email for application. I dont see solicitor using the same email as an issue, this is what they do even other wise in regular d...

I am hopeful I, an August applicant, will receive an invite this week You need to be realistic, most people in this forum have been waiting since April to provide their biometrics. You have zero chance of receiving your invite this week or even next week. I am referring to UKVCAS's last night annou...

Are applications routed via solicitors getting deprioritized? Using a solicitor, though it really isn't necessary and only makes the applicant poorer, has absolutely no effect, positive or negative, on your application. Hopefully the solicitor checks the junk mail folder or the server doesn't block...
