Hi Ameline, great minds think alike!Ameline wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 11:42 amDear friends, as expected I saw last night on fb someone saying that his wife set(M) application was approved on 27/11/20 and she applied only on 02/10/20 having done biometrics on 07/10/20. This was my nightmare and fear that I shared with you previously and which came true, thanks to the Home Office.
I have emailed them mentioning the above and the Moon guy replied to me after just few minutes confirming that they are assessing applications in chronological order and that they will be in touch in due course with further information. Unfortunately, we cannot do anything apart from waiting as they are not even aware that they are not following any chronological order or logic in assessing applications.
Have a nice day all.
I was going to post some information about the October SET (M) application that got speedy approval in less than two months. It's completely unreasonable to process October applications when there are so many June/July/Aug/Sept still pending. I don't think that the 'complex case' explanation applies to all of those. I have raised a formal complaint to both my local MP and the HomeOffice to investigate the slow decision rate of SET (M) applications. I emphasised on the fact that the majority of June/July/August applicant were still awaiting a decision and the story of complex cases cannot be played here. Also, applications are not being dealt with in chronological order as claimed by UKVI with the high decision turnaround time for SET(O) applications.fabsco wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 12:16 pmHi Ameline, great minds think alike!Ameline wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 11:42 amDear friends, as expected I saw last night on fb someone saying that his wife set(M) application was approved on 27/11/20 and she applied only on 02/10/20 having done biometrics on 07/10/20.

I am a July SET (M) applicant and have contacted my MP a month ago to kindly request them to enquire with HO about the status of my application. After a month of no contact, the MP replied that the HO couldn't explain the delay in processing my application, but would come back with an answer by next week.
I do think it's a matter of a case worker going off sick and the cases in their pot not being reassigned to other case workers. Of course they will only be picked up once the applicant makes a complaint and they investigate what's happening with the person's case. The two cases of delays that made the news got immediate approvals.

I have repeatedly said this on the forum and here again. You need to check the last day (28 days apart). If it is a weekend the availability is very low or none. The last day if you are trying today is 1st Jan which will be a closure for new years. You will have to check for a week day for better availability. The last day (28 days apart) has to be a week day for better options and availability.penguinexpress wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 10:55 amHello,
I am just wondering if anyone is still trying to book an appointment with UKVCAS? I am aware that new slots will be released everyday 12 AM, though I've been religiously checking every few hours, I can still find no slots....
Also, is there a way of seeing all centres in the list (rather than having to enter post code, find the centre, then check for the availabilities?)
Thanks
Thank you, glad i am not the only one!poper wrote: ↑Sat Dec 05, 2020 11:56 amI did a booking last week and an appointment date was available 4 weeks away. I booked a slot at the Croydon core center.
You may need to keep checking with alternative post codes. Unfortunately there is no way out as the system is pathetic and expensive.
Worst case, reach out to UKVCAS by twitter
