I applied in beginning May. I don’t have any existing biometrics, but I’ve received an email today saying
they will contact me on the 13th to book an appointment.

Also these calls are recorded and can be used in an applicants favour by tracking date and time. Don't count on it . The Home Office does not consider itself bound by incorrect advice given by the call center, either verbally/over the phone or in writing (emails/letters) . From their point of view,...

Update on UKVCAS site: “ Updated: 02 July 2020 We are opening the appointment booking system to even more customers. We have news about a new UKVI policy which may accelerate the application process. Taking a phased approach in date order We are now opening up the booking system in date order to cus...

That’s good news. “ If you’ve given your fingerprints before If UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) can reuse the fingerprints you’ve already given, you’ll be emailed with instructions on how to send them an image of your face and your supporting documents. This will mean you do not have to attend a UKV...

I applied just stating May. They said to me today can take a couple of weeks. That’s realistic I guess and no need to hold my breath.

I uploaded everything and actually a lot.

Anyone from April got an email by now?

Hi,
My application date is 3rd of April and so far nothing.

I’ve called them just now and they saying they are with beginning April applications.
However seen no one from April saying they got an appointment.

Anyone from April got an email by now?

Well, I phoned Home Office and was told that no longer needed to provide CSI although it did say that would need to provide evidence of CSI on the form, so don't know ... Just for the case csi will be a topic for you when HO contacts for further evidence in which case another cover letter to explai...

Frou001, four caseworkers that I contacted expressed three different opinions. I assume you called the UKVI Helpline? As I understand it the helpline operation is outsourced to a third party provider and the agents are not UKVI case workers, and don't have direct access to case workers or documents...

Hi, i applied in mid April and not received an email saying i could book. And i cannot book anything on the website. So i guess will need to wait still Thank you for letting me know. I was kinda hoping they getting further by now. But it seems they still stuck in March then. I was told by the ones ...

I’ve been waiting for Biometrics now for two months. I do follow the weekly UKVCAS updates saying they are making progress. Saying they keep realising appointments and every new week I think I would finally receive an email to access new appointments... but still nothing. On the other hand I’ve seen...

Responding the user with "dog" in their username, HO explicitly state on their website that intention not to stay in the UK is provable by means of a declaration. They don't say anything about the validity of a retrospective declaration, but that is my best guess as to how they could appr...

Well done everyone, together we stand!

Indeed.

Also this isn’t just about the bill tomorrow.
The campaign doesn’t end there. It’s actually the beginning.

As now there's a precedent of people who were granted citizenship without CSI. The legislation hasn't changed. So if someone in exactly same circumstances was to apply now as opposed to a year ago they would be rejected because of the timing. How is that consistent ? Yes indeed. Let’s compare two a...

Well done, Nikigio.

Thank have written to my MP today as well.

I hope some more will as it’s already been on the table tomorrow!

I found a campaign going on twitter called bye bye to csi, which was set up by a group called the 3million. They urge every EU citizens to write to their MP to call on government to scrap the need of csi. I think it will make a significant impact if everyone could do this. Indeed and very good to b...

Dear All, Does having an EHIC for the initial two years of my qualifying period (QP) for naturalisation, accompanied by a cover letter stating that during this period I did not have an intention to stay in the UK indefinitely, count as valid CSI? I had private health insurance for the last 3 years ...

It is all because after a year or so HO chose to revert to its previous position re interpretation of the law with settled status not being 'enough' which, in all honesty, it isn't, not under the current legislation anyway. Since settled status is not 'enough' all that PR palava will bleed into Nat...

Regarding requesting discretion. I think this has to be very well explained in a cover letter with sufficient evidence for a caseworker to justify discretion. That’s why in my case a lawyer has written my cover letter to request discretion. The wording about csi appears in online applications since ...

Has anyone seen anyone mention their having applied AFTER 15/05/2020 (the day when I believed the change in interpretation about CSI was released) and been successful , despite not having CSI and needing it? Would you say that needing to request a redeclaration AND having the CSI issue is a red fla...

I’m not aware you have to exercise treaty rights only one time for 5 years somewhere in the past. I know it’s only valid if you acquired PR and apply with PR as you can backdate it. Also their request is quite obvious talking about the last 3/5 years of lawful residence and not saying any period of ...

Yes, the form E104 I have as well it states the beginning and ending of my former insurance.
I didn’t attach nor translated it because I only use the letter confirming everything.
Like I said that was before my qualifying time.
The last 3/5 years it’s what matters.

About lost foreign EHIC cards. I’ve had this too, got a letter from my former health insurance company confirming in a letter I had an EHIC Card for certain years. I gave it to a translation agency and attached both with all my documents and can now prove I had foreign EHIC cover. I don't it it so ...
