Help! When I use the link in the email to login to UKVCAS, the page just shows loading. Is it normal? Should I stay on the page or refresh! Many thanks!

I've booked one. didn't know how i got in though. Croydon is not available until 02/09.

I'm now on Tier 2. If I submit a new Tier 2 application now (when current leave is valid), and my current leave is expired before the new leave is granted (before I receive the new BRP), will the gap affect a later ILR application? Does this gap break the 10 year 'continuous' residency? Many thanks ...

First, you must ensure to apply before ILR application is decided. Some people have shared email addresses which you can use to let UKVI know

Ahh, thanks Zimba. I will have a search!

You cannot have two or more pending applications as per law, so this means that one has to proceed only. Either ILR has to proceed or the Tier 2. UKVI will give you a chance to choose if they notice the second application. You may tell the UKVI that an application is variation of a previous applica...

1. Variation happens when you apply for a new application while one is pending 2. Apply normally, UKVI will view this as variation 3. You pay fully as normal (including IHS fees), SET(LR) fees will be refunded later Thanks Zimba! Really appreciate your answers! Just try to understand more about the...

I've submitted the Set (LR) standard application last month and have received the email from UKVCAS about the biometrics reuse. 1. If I'd like to apply for Tier 2 now, is this doable in my case? Is this called variation? 2. How does variation work? I guess I do not need to withdraw the ILR applicati...

If the priority service is open, it is guaranteed to show as an option on the payment page? Are they released on a daily basis and I have to refresh the page regularly to see whether the slots are available. It only shows if available. The service is still suspended. I see. So it is not always show...

Your tier 2 status remains unchanged and you can apply at any time again.

Thank you so much CR001.

Ignore that then re 28 days. Also remember, that even if priority is available, it is not a guaranteed service and you could still end up waiting weeks or months after paying for a second ilr application. Hi CR001, ahh, that makes sense. Yep, I think I will submit a standard application anyway. I k...

1. Your status remains tier 3 if you withdraw. 2. Refunds can take a few weeks. Note also that your supporting documents cannot be older than 38 days if you withdraw and resubmit. 3. No. Remember also, that there is no indication at this stage when priority will be available again. A member posted ...

1. You cant. 2. You have to withdraw and reapply and pay again. 3. Usually automatic. 4. You cannot "top up" an existing application. You have to withdraw and reapply and pay again. Refunds can take a few weeks. There is no indication that the super priority service will be available any ...

No. It's because SET(O) and SET(LR) are separate ILR paths

Thanks Zimba, so should I expect longer than 8 weeks to receive a SET(LR) decision in normal times?

I have been waiting to see if priority service is opened again but now my wife's visa is expiring this week. So looks like I don't have any other choice but to submit and select only available standard service. Now this looks a scary prospect, don't know how long home office will take to make a dec...

1. Yes but that has nothing to do with you applying for SET(LR). Your status remains unchanged until a new leave is granted
2. Yes
3. Yes

Hi Zimba, Thank you very much for the valuable answers!

You cannot work if you lose your job. You can continue to work for your current sponsor regardless of your ILR application Hi Zimba, Thank you for your reply. Sorry for the confusion. Could you please answer the following questions? 1. Sounds like once I've submitted my Set(LR) application, my stat...

No. You are NOT allowed to start working for anyone other than your sponsor as a Tier 2 migrant unless you get ILR or a new Tier 2 visa (via a new Tier 2 sponsor). If you lose your job and apply for SET(LR), you must refrain from working until ILR is granted. This is because conditions of your TIer...

Super priority is NOT a guaranteed service. Tier 2 applicants should expect longer delays as UKVI may check with your employer to see that you are NOT furloughed and you remain employed :!: :!: I don't think whether being furlough or not will impact on this application at all. You are expected to b...

Set LR is not based on being employed. If you lose your job after you have applied it should have no effect. You won't however be able to work for any other employer until your ilr is granted and you have your brp card. Hi CR001, Thank you so much for your reply. Really helpful!! Sorry not sure if ...

My visa is Tier 2 (General), will be eligible to apply for Set (LR) 10 years this August. What would happen if I lost my job after I submit and pay my Set (LR) application online, but before the UKVCAS biometrics appointment or in the position of waiting for a decision made on this application? 1.
