New UKVCAS System and Travel Dates

Post by MML » Tue Dec 11, 2018 6:39 pm

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some help with my ILR Set (LR) 10 yr application, please.

I've submitted my online application on 10/Dec/18 and chose to use the new UKVCAS service (as there wasn't any premium appointment available via the existing system). I received an email from UKVI on 11/Dec/18 with a Case ID, confirming that my application has been received and is being considered, and it may take up to 6 months for a decision.

I've paid and chose to use premium service, I hadn't booked an appointment as there isn't any available at the service point near me for the next 2 weeks, and I haven't submitted any documents. I'm a bit confused here as I'm not sure where my application is at now. Would UKVI consider my case within the 1 day turnaround time for premium service when I attend my appointment?

Another question is, I've submitted 10-year travel history to date with the online application form, but I will be travelling outside the UK during Christmas time. With the additional days of absence from the UK, the total number of days of absence is still within the 180 days limit. But I can't go back to update my application form now as it's been submitted. Would this be an issue if this time outside of the UK is not included?

Many thanks for your help! :)

What date are you planning to attend your appointment?

On what date did you enter the UK 10 years ago, which is the start of your qualifying period?

Hi CR001,

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm planning on attending my appointment during the 1st or 2nd week of Jan/19.

I first entered the UK 20/Sep/07.

Thanks :)

Travel outside of UK after online application submission

Post by MML » Thu Dec 20, 2018 9:45 pm

Hi All,

It would be much appreciated to get your advice on travel dates, please :)

I've submitted SET LR application online last week, I've been in the UK legally for over 11 years to date. Travel history to date was submitted with the online application form, but I will be travelling outside the UK during Christmas time. With the additional days of absence from the UK, the total number of days of absence is still within the 180 days limit. But I can't go back to update my application form now as it's been submitted. Do I need to send an update to UKVI before I attend my appointment? Would this be an issue if this time outside of the UK is not included?

Many thanks in advance!
