Received generic email from the FLR M validation home office team this morning, advising visa processing may be delayed outside of the standard 8 weeks processing time. 'Please be assured we will do all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible once your biometric details have b...
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, UKVI could have partnered "again" with post-office and allowed biometric submission from there, similar to how it was in Oct 2018 and before.
Applicants have already paid £19.60 for the biometrics, why make them pay again for a useless service
Writing long essays here is just a waste of everyone’s time. Agree. UKVI has not recommended this forum & people are participating from their own free will. This is immigration board & not intended to be a platform for debating or showing off PhD skills. Hope better sense prevail and we avo...
Personal opinion only in regards to the topic of biometric submission to UKVI UKVCAS has nothing to gain but everything to lose if applicants submit via IDV App. Therefore they are holding back on the: speed with which the invites are sent to the applicants. In current day and age, I am not sure wha...
Hi All, I have received an email from WorkSponsored@homeoffice.gov.uk in regards to my ongoing application for ILR Set(O) through 5 yrs route. This email was received 3 days after I submitted my biometrics through the IDV app on last Friday. Was wondering if this is generic email And would it be a ...
I have submiited my ILR application (SET O) for myself and 1 dependent last 31/07/2020 and biometrics was submitted on 28/08/2020. I received an email yesterday from UKVI that my application will take more than 6 months. "Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK. We apol...
Hi All, I was following this thread from couple of months now. My question is related to the IDV app and Biometrics. Hope some one can provide me an answer. overview : I have applied the Tier 2 visa extension along with my two dependent on 30th July 2020. And got the e-mail on re-use of biometrics ...

Email from FES Appointments <no-reply@mail.ukvcas.co.uk> on 5 Aug stating UKVI have identified you as being eligible for this new approach involving biometric reuse. Tried...

Have a great week and make sure dont rush and do it slowly and properly. I will pray for you. hello abhardwaj1...
It is very disappointing and unfortunate that UKVCAS gives broad timeline for IDV App. In the updated FAQ from 14th Aug, they mentioned week commencing 17th Aug, while they would have already known that nothing will be available till mid-day Thursday. They could have given a timeline of 20th August ...
from where u have got those screenshots You can see more screenshots of IDV App from: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soprasteria.ukvcas.mobileapp This App lets you upload and submit identity verification documents to UKVI to support your Visa application. You can take pictures of...
Once the App is available on both Android and Apple Play store, then UKVCAS will enable the account for each biometric reuse eligible applicant - this will be a manual process, done in phases in order of when the payment was made for the Visa Application. Once account is enabled, UKVCAS system will ...
should there be a separate thread for the IDV App , as the roll-out deadline of 31st August comes closer... ? I appreciate it would be cleaner in an ideal scenario to have single thread on appointments AND IDV - however given the current situations with pandemic and scarcity of the information, it w...
It will be interesting to see when IDV App becomes available....
If by remain OPT-IN - the applicant gets no benefit of quick biometrics (as compared to OPT-OUT or not eligible for reuse) then what's the point of this new approach?
Agree, they gave an official timeline to thousands of applicants by email saying that appointments will be released this week (which gives them until Sunday). You should submit a formal complaint at: https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/contact-us/complaint UKVCAS (as per contract with UKVI must by law) do the...
The forecast on when more centres will open keeps changing. This is utter incompetence and total disrespect to the applicants, who are paying customers. Since UKVI has created a monopoly of UKVCAS, there is nothing an applicant can reasonably do, other than keep getting false & misleading inform...
It will be unreasonable to ask local MP to pester UKVI / UKVCAS / Home Office just after making an application. However two months with no appointment would seem serious situation for the MP to intervene. Reason I put end of August is because looking at this forum thread, it seems a lot is planned ...
Just a thought folks. Has anybody contacted their MPs to complain against these shambles? For the purpose of biometrics appointment on ILR Applications, your local MP will be able to help if you are unable to find biometrics slot on UKVCAS website till end of August or till two months since your ap...

Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app . . Rollout of the IDV app will take place in phases, beginning in August . We will invite eligible customers to use the new IDV app rather than require you to book an appointment at a UKVCAS service point. . . An invitation will be sent for you to use the new IDV app...
If you’ve given your fingerprints before If UKVI can reuse the fingerprints you’ve already given, they’ll email you 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 an SSC to provide biometric information. Is it poss...
Have you passed an approved English language test - YES Did the test assess your speaking and listening skills at a level equivalent to CEFR B1 or higher? - YES How did you get your result? I have received Test Report Form showing PASS. This has UKVI number and TRF number - so what should I answer t...
Thanks. I am confused (not clear) about these questions Is the account with a bank or utility company for which you have supplied information and supporting documentation held jointly by you and other people? Does the account with the bank or utility company for which you have supplied information a...
She also needs LIUK test This was completed in early 2020. SET(O) Guidance notes: I am unable to find this.
