@Cristina88 Guru, Angel, Messiah, Cullinan, Finally am taking your advice and not waiting anymore to be in the queue and submitting today, realised no need to wait for 'normalcy'! I have all docs ready so best course will be to pay & submit and then I upload docs on UKVCAS (getting login / pwd ...

by finallyilrlr » Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:16 pm Just DM'd UKVCAS on twitter and they said that they're holding us (post-12 sep applicants) off because there are no appointments available anyway - so they're processing the backlog. Guru, Angel, Messiah, Cullinan, Finally am taking your advice and not wai...

Cristina88 Still confused whether to wait more or pull the trigger. TBH majority Tier 2 applications are processed very quick even on standard route. Choice is completely yours. But I doubt super-priority will resume anytime soon. Most probably biometrics will be opened up in phases with date cut o...

Delayed return to our pre-COVID service Following the changes to our service caused by Covid-19, we are planning to return to our normal ways of working soon. This will mean that customers will be able to book an appointment as soon as they register with UKVI/UKVCAS. We were planning to do this on ...

Given the recent surge in cases, potentially there will be stricter rules implemented today if not a national lockdown. Calls for national measures to be implemented today. Best to keep an eye on the news. The restrictions may impact the UKVCAS appointment bookings also. I would urge anyone applyin...

Hi Gurus, Moderators and senior members helping us all the time I have a question and getting bit worried : Back in 2015, when I first applied my T2G PLEASE SELECT UNDER WHICH CATEGORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT YOU ARE CLAIMING POINTS FOR I answered: DEGREE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH because at th...

Hi Cullinan sir, Guru, I am eligible for ILR from today (entry date 17-Oct-2015) and have few months before visa expiry (14-Jan-2021). Given that UKVCAS says that they were planning to open ‘pre covid services’ on 21 Sep but are still testing with UKVI - does it make sense to wait for 1-2 days to k...

Following this thread closely for some time and some other forums, obviously it depends on complexity of case but in general it seems like - fastest decision is coming for those going for both IDV & appointment? - Then little more time for appointment only (opt out) folks and finally - longest f...

Respected Gurus, Senior members, I am in final stage of submitting application and have couple of questions mainly on checklist: 1) There are 2 docs in checklist: 1 - Current BRP 2 - Evidence of immigration status. I have only BRP. But do I have to tick for Evidence of immigration status as well ? I...

Seems like due to fear of second wave UKVCAS has reconsidered its decision to stick with IDV app. We were planning to do this on 21 September 2020, but we are still working on final testing with UKVI. We’ll keep you posted about when this will happen, so keep checking this service status. wow! Than...

Hi master Cullinan I have a question on submission, if I pay & submit application on 20th Sep and say wait a week before booking appointment (wait to see just in case super-priority opens up) does that push back us in the queue ? simply put, if I pay & submit application on 20th Sep - what ...

got a message from other forum/group that super priority appointment will start in phased manner and only limited number of slots will be available each day. I told my partner, that we wont believe it until Cullinan/Immigration board confirms this .. so if anyone here can provide confirmation?

Note; the IDV app was only introduced to meet the pend-up demand caused by Covid-19. UKVI are currently assessing how the IDV app will be used moving forward. Currently only Student T4 applications will use the IDV app. If UKVCAS received your application on or after 5 September 2020, we are please...

Q2: In the letter they ONLY mentioned the leave in which I went out of UK. They didn’t mention 1 to 3 days leaves in which I was in UK only. Is that fine? Or they should mention ALL the leaves including when I was in UK ? Thanks a lot for quick response, and for the absence letter. Do they have to ...

Hi Gurus, Mods, Senior members, I received employer letter and have some questions as it didnt look perfect. The letter reads: “We further confirm that Mrs Marsh’s position with us is permanent and this employment will continue for another two years from 31st Dec 2020. The following are dates detail...

Hi Gurus, I got stamp on my bank statement and just then noticed that on the Bank statement my name comes as "C Marsh" whereas in application/passport my name is "Christina Marsh". Will this cause any issue ? Also, while getting employer letter if they mention holiday dates - how...

Hi all , Can you please help me who to address the cover letter for my ILR application? Also, there was a post explaining step by step what happens once we pay and submit the application in current scenario (upload docs, app, biometrics etc). It was by a mod/senior member and was very very useful. I...

Hi Respected Gurus, Moderator, Human Angels CR001, Zimba, 1) As was suggested, for clarity on name change, I will put it on the Additional information. But I couldn't find any section where I can put additional information in the end. Can you advice where can I put it ? FYI, just to remind, - I am p...

Thanks a lot Seagull & Cullinan, I will add a cover letter saying previously when I made the application I/my solicitor put answer for any other name as No incorrectly. While renewing my Tier 2 General visa on last occasion, I correctly put my pre-marriage name and doing the same for my ILR appl...

Sorry as I got conflicting answers, want to clarify: 1) Even though in my last T2G application as I mentioned my pre-marriage name-surname, I should still clarify in a cover letter for not doing it the time before ? 4) If I use flight ticket dates as date of leaving UK then there will be slight mism...

Hi Respected Gurus, Moderators, I have some questions if you can please answer: 1) When asked if you have other names. I changed my surname post marriage (10 years ago) so I answered Yes and gave my old surname. In my last application for T2G, I gave the same as previous name. However, when I renewe...
