Finally wait is over, received an email invitation to book an appointment. I managed to book an appointment for earlier next working day (Monday, 17th August). There were only 2 service points with appointments available on Monday, 17th August (Both in Scotland). I nearly checked all centers availab...

When the emailed week commencing 10th August, does Saturday and Sunday come under that although non working days. If so, is it worth waiting next two days or now everything has been postponed until next week for us?

There are low chances but they may send invites tomorrow (Saturday).

Unfortunately no email invitation so far, can't see any appointments in UKVCAS.

User cosmictbt first broke the news about appointment's opening yesterday at 4:31 pm who very excitingly wrote "appointments opened !!!" Good on those who managed to get appointments so far. Its 17:15 pm and I checked so far they haven't opened appointments for remaining opt-outers Finger...

In my case the 16 digits are different between Application Form and Email Subject of email received from caseworker (W&S Contingency). Only first 8 digits are same. Is that normal? Please see the image here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xXuKuIoQNl78CU-nOog6ZVGtd13s0fBD/view That's strange. T...

From those who got invitation emails to book appointment yesterday, can someone please confirm the format for Opt-out email? I opted out on 7th Aug at 1.21 PM with subject line "OPT OUT xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx". Did anyone who opted out in similar fashion receive email to book appointment alread...

I think the emails are pushed through in date order of opting out - irrespective of the deadlines given to applicants i.e. 7th Aug or 10th Aug 5pm for all applicants up until June and July respectively. Seems like all applicants who have received emails to book appointments opted out on/before 7th ...

So I used: OPT OUT - XX-0001-XXX-55XX/XX And the following email wording Dear Sirs, Re My Full Name - XXx-xXxx-XXX-5546/00 - ILR Set (o) i would like to opt out and attend the appointment centre in person. Best wishes Hmm, I had missing "/XX" the last two digits "/00" from my UA...

Hello Everyone, Can someone please let me know the number for contacting UKVCAS. I get disconnected after a few minutes every time I call the number 0844 8920232 call 03301231199 it's free don't let them rip u off they don't deserve your money. i waited for an hour on the phone that will cost u aro...

If you check your document checklist the UAN is 16 digits and so /XX is not part of it. That should not be a reason. I did the same as you. Yes, you are right, the 16 digit is the UAN and /00 may refer something else and not required when it's 00. But staff at UKVCAS may be trying to search UAN fro...

Hey all,

Can someone confirm the email address that is being used to send the details for booking the appointment or going ahead with the IDV APP please?

Thanks

Email address: FES Appointments <no-reply@mail.ukvcas.co.uk>
Email subject: Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app

It seems that people who sent opt out email before 7th Aug (5 pm) all received the invites and people who opted out after this date/time are waiting, they may receive invites later today. There was no time mentioned in email for 7th Aug deadline but I assume they have processed invites upto 5pm on 7...

No. Was checking almost whole night for any update. But nothing. Has anybody tried looking for appointments on ukvcas yet, might be they have opened the system for those opting out on deadline date of 10th August and emails are not pushed through the system yet. Just a thought! Nothing yet, I was a...

I used exactly the same format and excluded /00 The stress is killing me now! can anyone who had the appointment share their experience please Don't worry, need to keep waiting. In past people reported that emails received until midnight. Also I noticed a post from member that email received at 4 a...

I used the following format as subject of opt-out email and still waiting for invite.

OPT OUT - XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Can anybody please share the subject line format who got invites today?

No email and no appointments available for me - checked many centres Applied 18th of July (SET LR) and opted out on 8th of Aug Some July applicants got it despite even opting out after 7th Aug. I have concluded, when it comes to UKVCAS's decision making or planning some people will be disadvantaged...

Is there anyone who manage to book appointment and who opted out after 5pm on 7th August deadline?

Deadline for few of us was 10th August?

Yes, the email that I got states 10th August (5pm) deadline.

I didn't receive invite and can't see appointments. I sent optout email on Friday, Aug 7, 10:03 PM

Good news!

I can't see any appointments, I applied on 15th July and opted out on 7th August.

Spoken to ukvcas. And they were not accepting that they sent any email with deadline of 10th August but the only deadline which was given for opt out is 7th. Moreover, they were unable to find my email which I sent to opt out. So I resent these again. No news about when they would allow the biometr...
