Thanks CR001 for the response

If one loses/damages existing exceptional/global talent BRP within UK, do they need to apply for stage 1 all over again as part of BRP replacement process?
What all documents are required as part of BRP replacement process in this case?

Hi, I applied for provisional driving license online recently Just wanted to know how long is DVLA taking to provide provisional license and return the original documents considering the current COVID-19 situation Please share timeline in the below format if anyone has received their provisional lic...

Hi Vikas, Today, I received an email from, "W&S Contigency Case Work". Its a long email. did you receive such email. Few lines from it: Although we would normally decide your application within eight weeks from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this may not be possible in your case. As globa...

when did they send you a notification email to book an appointment. Just trying to understand the timeliness. Thanks, Suriya G For all June applicants they announced on 20th July and sent notifications to book an appointment before 22nd July and for rest who were qualified for biometric reuse, for ...

Hi Vikas,
Did you manage to book an appointment? I see you have made your stage2 application on June 10th.
The UKVCAS website says, they have called out applications submitted on June.
I'm switching from Tier2 ICT to Tier1.

I appreciate your help!

Regards,
Suriya G

Yes, I did

Once they start sending email for July applicants then you will get a email either to book a biometric appointment or if they can reuse your previous application biometric (i don’t know what’s the qualifying criteria for this) You can follow the below page for more details around this http://www.imm...

Hi,

You will not be able to book an appointment as they haven’t started slots for July applicants.
Currently they are giving appointments to June applicants or VIP appointments only. Link below

5th May, but not for ILR, its T2G Ok, further update, just recieved an emai from UKVCAS, We recently wrote to tell you that UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is changing the way it processes applications in response to COVID-19. UKVI previously identified that you were eligible for their biometric re...

Hi Moderator/All Is there any timeline sub-forum page for in-country visa switching apart from ILR? Please post the link if there is any. On ILR timeline, can see most of the SET(O) applicants who received a mail to send the documents and SET(M) applications are getting decisions within 4-5 days aft...

Hi i have applied in may and i did get an email for biometric reuse. Today i can see some appointemenets available on UKVCAS to book ! I think they are making appointments available to everyone now ? Cheers is this ony for me or everyone can see appointements now who ever got a biometric resuse ema...

As Vikas said above, you cannot book from UkVCAS website, you have to email them and then they will give you a quote and availability. I am told for covid, they have added another £650 for nothing. I got a quote for £3600 approx. Yes they get a pack of wet wipes and a bottle of sanitizer 😀, £650 ex...

No offense again to anyone but this was purely my choice as they have not given any update on biometric reuse for 4 weeks now and I lost one employer and on verge od loosing another one. The cost is around £3575 for mqin applicant where sopra will come to your location to take biometrics. Do they g...

My timeline: Application type: ILR 10yrs route. Application date: 23/04/2020 Biometric reuse email: 4th July. Since then waiting and potentially lost 2 employers. Still employed by old employer though. Decided to use sopra vip service and got the earliest available date for 17th Aug. Asked solicito...

Since most of us were working from home during the lockdown, not sure what UKVI and UKVCAS employees have done during that 2 month period when there was complete suspension of their services. That was the time they could have worked on developing some future solution like biometric reuse etc. to ove...

VIP appointments are handled by seperate team and not someone coming from their existing regular biometric team leaving their regular appointments That is not what I am talking about. I know it is a separate team. But it is still UKVCAS. What I am saying is, doesn't matter if you are identfied for ...

No offence to you or anybody who would like to book VIP service as you have every right to book a paid service. But, this, in my opinion is scandalous. Because even though you are picked for biometric reuse, UKVCAS basically can override UKVI's decision to offer vip biometric service. But when you ...

Hi CR001,

Does Global Talent stage 2 decision is sent out over email or do they send the BRP directly once successful?

I submitted on 12th May. Thanks

Keep posting here on your timeline and further progress, even I will do the same.
Its difficult to find stage 2 applicants on the forum

Hello Everyone, I had submitted my application in May under Tier1 Global Talent category I my application is under biometric reuse category. At the time of the submission we were charged on 2 years of IHS instead of 3 years(which should be in this case). I have submitted my document to UKVI using t...

Hi guys, Firstly I would like to massively thanks everyone in this forum (Members and Moderators). This is the only place which keeps assuring that I am not alone going through this, so I am obliged to share my updates. I have applied some times in May and fell into Biometric Reuse category. I read...

Anyone of you who applied for stage 2 got an outcome?
If yes then can you please share the timeline and did you get a decision letter first or directly you got the brp?

It seems that those who got email from case worker earlier requesting for documents are getting decisions as soon as their biometric is complete
