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

Have we had any SET(M)s that went over 6 months? as I have a feeling my application might.

For me 6 months will be 22nd Dec but when back in July my employer did the right to work check, Home office told them that it has been extended till 23rd Jan 2021 :?:

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

Users mentioning on Twitter that they turned up for their appointment today at a couple of centres and no staff were at the service point, that is really sad due to corona closures? Don’t know exactly why, but the applicants should’ve been informed about it, some might’ve traveled a fair distance

My partner contacted UKVCAS on twitter and asked about the appointment. They replied with the info that the application has already been submitted via IDV and if personal appointment is attended, it will delay the application (due to duplicate records) and recommended cancelling the appointment.

National lockdown from Wednesday expected, this will give UKVI another massive excuse to hide behind COVID-19 for their incompetence and poor management of day to day operations minus any accountability.

@Ameline @Ajitu92 Please correct me if my observation is wrong. I believe applicants who went for dual submissions on/after 21st Sep seems not to have worked and MAYBE pushed back in queue as per the date of biometrics submitted in-person? As per UKVCAS: Doing this means that your case may take lon...
