**** COVID19 and UKVCAS Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

[EngrImigrnt]

Hi All,

I would like to know, how is the availability for biometric appointment in London centers
Is there still a 28 day lag?
Any recent experiences will be helpful for me

Thanks

There are quite a few appointments available I booked last week
there were the same-day appointments for £199
after week £138 and £78
and after November 3rd there were free appointments in croydon
hope this is not too late

So how did all those people from the ILR TIMELINES thread manage to get appointments 1-2 days after submitting their application?? Just submitted mine and the first one available at the premium lounge (London Mark Lane) is on Nov 22 (but you still have to pay £199 for an appointment that is 8 days away!!).

My wife had her biometrics appointment about a week ago for her ILR SET(M). I have reason to believe that its possible there could have been a problem with the photo that was taken during her appointment. If so, what would be the consequence? Could it cause my wife's whole application to be refused, or would my wife just get notified to re-take the biometrics? Hopefully its the latter of these. Thank you.

I tried for 3 days every 30 min and few times saw next day appointment available in london(east croydon). But I needed a next week appointment and also got that eventually. You have to keep on checking until u get lucky.

If there is an issue with biometrics, UKVI will contact you.

Thanks for that information. That's reassuring to know.

Hi, I have got a free appointment today for January 6th. Is there any issue if I find an earlier appointment and cancel this one to reschedule?

It's free so they wont charge anything just to cancel, right?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am hoping to submit application for SET(O) soon. How is the biometrics appointment lag nowadays?

Best,

Hi,

Does anyone know how long after UKVCAS appointment, the visa is issued for super priority?

Hi,

Does anyone know how long after UKVCAS appointment, the visa is issued for super priority?

End of next working day, but its not guaranteed. I received an email a few hours after submission that they won't be able to honor the deadline due to needing to "carry out additional checks".
