It really doesn't make me feel better, I would hope that there was some sort of chronological order being followed or at least a status update so we are all not just sitting here in the dark letting our anxiety get the best of us! I am sorry that it did not make you feel better. I am not particular...

My 8 weeks will be complete this Wednesday and am planning to give a call to my Solicitor this Friday to take stock. As you mentioned, looks like Dependents are slowing down the approval process. Maybe they have some kind of common sub-queue for us. Although it's straight forward for me. 1 job swit...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Hi All, I have noticed that some people have said that once they enrolled their biometrics and documents with UKVACS they received an email/text confirming it. I never received anything like this. I was told in person by UKVACS that my biometrics and documents had been submitted to the HO. I am now...

So, the way it would work as I comprehend is : Step 1 - You complete your online application - The case gets on to a virtual Queue with a rank. Step 2 - You upload documents - The case is still at the same Queue. Step 3 - You finish your physical biometrics - Case has complete documentation flag an...

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

My solicitor told me the dates applications were submitted or biometrics were done will become irrelevant once an application is allocated to a case worker. It depends on how quickly a case worker can progress applications / complexity of cases. That's why we are seeing no pattern on application su...

That’s not true... back in September and October there were a lot of people who got it after one week of appointment but many others have been waiting. And since October I don’t think people are getting approvals within a week anymore. I think I will email my MP today. Even though I am well within ...

@gag285 - Thanks for the help, yes you are right I am going crazy with waiting and I am thinking of all the "what ifs" that might slow down my process.
Don’t worry you are not alone! I have reserved my afternoon walk for the doubts. Every afternoon I mull over a new one.

Re: **** COVID19 and UKVCAS Biometrics Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

Thanks but my interpretation is that they want to do some enquiries on my case hence the delay email last week. I really hope these enquiries don’t get lost in the system. Good luck with yours!!
