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

@klownking - As per my last message, the article was published on 22nd May. They've had quite some time since then, so the situation may be different now. I really want to agree on this one but dude we are talking about HO. I hope they have the technology to process the IDV app submission quickly. ...

Re: applying for ILR on Furlough

I don't know is it related or not. But in my company, many employees got furloughed and unfurloughed at least 3 times. I don't see any issue with that process.

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

So I thought I'd just post this here for info. I've heard people saying (anecdotally) that Home Office/UKVI are/can work from home but didn't see any evidence to corroborate. So for all those that have been wondering/worried whether this is the case and how bad the effect of another lockdown may be...

@Ajitu92 Hehe yes :lol: 🤳🏼 Your analysis is commendable 👏 Why thank you, what can I say, I have the easy pick in terms of Set LR as it is all falling in order! It seems to be 'falling in order' for only those who managed to submit in-person bio metrics (I include myself in that finite few lucky one...

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

I am regretting the decision of using the IDV app. My company has decreased the pay to 5% but is still more than what it requires for the experienced worker. I have no idea what impact that would be on my application now.

13 weeks since the date of application. I am not seeing any reply this week or during the lockdown period. For me, only 9 more weeks to go :x :x :x ... I don't know should I go mad or wait patiently.

Oh, God... It means we should not have high hopes from the HO. I think I should stop expecting a reply this week, calm down and expect a reply in 4 weeks. I went through the limited set of data we have on IDV only SET(O) apps The number of days from IDV submission to approval has been increasing st...
