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

For those who applied in July: Can you see the option for submitting the documents to UKVI via the document upload section on UKVCAS? I know someone who applied today 15/7/2020 but have NO option like this. I am assuming this option maybe is only for applicants till June then?? Application submitte...

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

It is very frustrating no doubt, but they didn't just introduce the "might take up to 6 months" part of the application process. It is and has been common knowledge for a standard application process and given that they have had to pause the priority services I guess we can only have a ge...

UKVCAS new update: 15 July 2020 https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/flash-message-detail?flashmessageId=56249 Nothing Major ☹️ They might update the other flash message sooner also. Usually I have noticed one updates after the other. Infact, few of those service points that were planned to open on 20th July e...

Dear Members, Please see the email: https://ibb.co/7tyQ15K “Functionality to capture previous biometric will not be available until mid Aug.”; By reading this my personal understanding is, they have already informed to applicants whose biometric can be reused but will update it into their system by...

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

As has been posted many times now, it is biometric page and stamped pages only. I was not aware stamped pages are also needed. The checklist of documents only indicates "the passport". Do they also need stamped pages of old passports? How else do you prove your residence and absence (that...

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

I scanned all my pages including the blank pages. There have been cases reported where the UKVI requests the applicants to submit their passport hardcopy at a later stage for verification. So I would recommend to scan all pages including the blank/empty pages of your passport to be on the safe side...

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

If we use the new option and submit directly to UKVI then UKVCAS cannot check your uploaded documents during your appointment. If one is confident enough that their documents are 100% accurate, can proceed with this new option. It makes sense to use the new option for people who have received biomet...

I haven’t received the reuse email but I also see this in my UKVCAS account. I was asked to send my documents via email earlier this week which I did. I think this mechanism is perhaps just a formalisation of that? I will wait until we get more info about uploading photos before using this new tool...

Guys please just remember the people working at UKVCAS are people like us. I understand how you feel, we are all in the same boat and we are definitely being treated badly and unfairly. But we are all in this together ❤ including the employees at UKVCAS. From the emails you are posting I can see th...

Anyone who registered with UKVCAS between “1st May - 31st May” (I understand that there are few on this forum who didn’t get any email who registered before 1st May) didn’t get any email for reuse of biometric or appointment?
Just wanted to understand if there is any pattern for such cases in May

I received a very unsatisfactory response to the email I sent to ECAA team regarding my Turkish Businessperson ILR application and it appears that the departments are not really cooperating. Although I am already identified for biometrics re-use, I am still told to watch out for appointments. "...

Yes, I tried calling UKVI but couldn’t get through. Called UKVCAS and forwarded the same email to them, they mentioned that they will look into it and get back to me. Last option would be to reply over the same email but will wait for couple of days for UKVCAS to get back. Thanks for your quick rep...
