Oh - and thanks for the info Cullinan - much appreciated.

You can follow the suggestion in the previous “edited” message.

Home Office call centre is outsourced to a third party. I doubt they will be able to help you out. Many members have booked biometrics appointments after the deadline during corona, it should be okay. You should rather focus on finding an earlier cancellation. Appointments open up every day 1AM BST ...

You had a biometrics deadline of 45 working days after 4th Feb which expired in April (If you login in your UKVI account - it will be mentioned on the “further actions page.” However, due to corona delays, HO is lenient. Just book the biometrics appointment again and attend. Hopefully will be okay. ...

Can you please let me know what documents she needs to take with her to Appointment centre then ? Is it Just her own Passport ? Thanks Just pa...

No documentary proof is required in support of ...

You can use the same referee (headmaster) for yourself and children. In case of children one referee has to be engaged with the children in a professional capacity. You can ask the same headmaster to provide a referee for yourself also. No issues.

Hi I submitted my AN application yesterday and have been on a look out for a free biometrics appointment over most of UK and it seems that there are no availabilities so far. The only available appointments are quite expensive - not many of these too. I have looked from yesterday evening, few times...

You can upload but can not self-submit now (you can self-submit only once). UKVCAS staff will submit for you.

b) For child applicants at least one of the referees must be a person who has dealt with the child in a professional role such as a teacher, doctor, health visitor or social worker. Where a child cannot provide a referee who has dealt with them in a professional capacity and has provided documents t...

The statutory requirement is not met. It is upon discretion. Usually discretion is applied in similar cases.

I would pass it onto @secret.simon who is best placed to answer. Assuming your wife was British by descent as she was born outside UK, I believe, your children born outside UK will need to be registered as British first before they can apply for British passports. Does you wife has British passport ...
