Hi All, I was eligible for ILR since 6th April but could not apply before lockdown happened and on June 4th applied when they opened back. Applied for ILR for me and my wife together. More 15days to go to complete 6 months and hoping that I get it before that. Our company has premium account with H...

Thanks, just check right to work and it still shows my current Tier-2 BRP validity and work rights. I did get a request to attach English test certificate three days after submitting Biometric which we did on the same day. No other queries or communication since then. Do you know what, this is the ...

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

Looks like MPs are helping people who have job offers to accept. Is this true? I have a job offer with a pending start date of Jan 1, 2021. But still nothing from the HO. I also need to serve 1 month notice at my current employer. So that means I need to hand notice before end of NOv. Should I esca...

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

Somebody reported contacting their MP within like 6-7 weeks of their application and getting a response after the MP escalated. This seems odd because I was hearing (not sure where) that UKVI were not taking escalations any more and escalating within 6 months is anyways unlikely to yield anything. ...

Approvals have definitely slowed down with the impact of lockdown 2.0. Maybe more HO workers are working from home now.

@navkant, probably the first time I am seeing the SET(O/M) timeline thread not being updated for the whole day. I hope its just an off day and we'll begin to see decisions from next week BC forum approvals reported are also dead for the last 3 days. Not sure if overall HO operations are affected or...

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

@gag285 I agree, the focus was put back to Aug/Set Set(O) applicants especially IDV only users. However, they are still reviewing October applicants (e.g. fb user SET(O) Ancestry applied on 11/10/20 having in person appoint on 06/11/20 who got approval on 10/11/20). Indeed, it has just gotten rando...

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

Mid September they gave IDV access to applicants so they (late Sep IDV users) should be the last ones. The HO seem to be focusing on IDV backlog but they are also dealing with in-person. There have been approvals as early as October for similar timeline as yours (SET(O) Oct Applicant having had Oct...

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

According to the approvals reported in this forum and fb, the slowest week was the last week of October i.e. before lockdown. I don't think this has slowed down now. Yesterday we had a total of 10 SET reported which is not bad for Monday, hope it lasts. Guess my brain has gone into information bias...

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

The progress in general seems to have slowed down. No more swift decisions for Set O reported. My solicitors claimed that due to lockdown, home office has to reassign duties to staff that can work from home and this may well affect the number of cases that can be assessed in a given timeframe. I wo...
