Date you pay and submit online via UKVI and register an account with UKVCAS.

- Submitted my application for naturalisation on 8th of July (ILR + 1 year, non EU)
- Biometrics through IDV app on 30th of August
- UKVCAS appointment for dual biometrics submission on 23rd September
- Received my approval on 29th of September

[soul_mickey]

I submit application on 14th July online
IDV app 28th Aug
FREE Biometrics at Croydon 25th September

still waiting and i applied with EU settled status

I went for free biometrics appointment on 25th Sep also, still waiting.. seems dual submissions have stopped working...

looks like the home office officials are back to their original slow self ... for the first couple of months after lockdown ended, they seemed excited to be back to work and were processing cases left right and centre ... now its back to their annoying slow pace
following the theme (but i guess leaving it too late) i also went for dual submission last saturday - nothing yet.

So we are 3 now who went for dual submission last week. You applied 16th June, I applied 22nd June and @askmeplz82 applied on 14th July. Dual submission did not work for all three of us.. Seems like it only worked for applicants in April/May and HO is going in date order... yesterday couple June approvals were reported up to start June.. you are 16th June.. I think you will hear soon....

count it 4.
I also applied on 9th July (as spouse of British Citizen + ILR for 1.2 year), IDV submission on 28th Aug, and then went for in-person (dual) submission on 28th Sept. No news so far.
Stay optimistic... we will all hear good news soon

It is not possible. It is a major flaw in their system. I felt the same when I uploaded everything and just wanted to double check that everything was ok before submitting.

The answer is still the same. I'm afraid you can't either before or after submission.

@fivem

You can only preview the contents when you select the file. You can check all pages in the preview then. Once you press upload, you can only view the file name.

Hello All,

Ive managed to access the IDV app after trying throughout yesterday. I had a content blocker on my phone which did its job and meant I was unable to tick the cookie permission panel to allow access to the website. I have had to disable the content blocker.

Im now on the ID verification tab. I have taken my picture as well as the liveness photo. I want to be sure Im doing the right thing re Photograph of my travel document. The select Travel Document type list includes Visa Residence vignette (FMOP Certificate of Entitlement & BRP issued) Is it appropriate to use my Biometric Residence Permit card (BRP)? I would normally use my passport but it is expired and the photo doesn't look like me anymore. i took the passport photo approximately 10 years ago. My BRP card photo is more recent.

Thanks.

Hi, I am in the same position. Can I ask what you did in the end?

We applied on July 16th; we were notified on Aug 6th that the biometrics are to be reused. We're now awaiting the invite to use the app. We're wondering if too opt out now but the deadline to do so has passed for us.

Hello everyone, no email as yet but we did get access to the app earlier today, just around 6.50pm when we checked. Photos were taken and all docs previously uploaded were stored. Application now submitted successfully via the app.

Application approval came today via email.....We're Done Done Don Don Don Done

Congrats!! May I know which basis you applied for BC? And your earlier post say you applied on 23rd not 25th? Plus you got additional documents request on 3rd July?

[CULLINAN]

Given the pattern, I think Section 6(1) applications mid-late June are processed now....
and applications on basis of BC spouse or EU route are processed quicker...

[londonent]

Sorry, yes, my bad 23rd June. We applied as a family. 5 years on Tier 2 + 1 year ILR
