@typhoon476 Congratulations first... A long battle Its indeed scary to know HO can just "forget" our £2.4K applications. Did you contact your MP as 6 months lapsed or did you have any other compassionate reasons? Thank you. I didn't have any official compassionate reasons, just old parent...
Hey guys, June applicant here, just received successful decision email yesterday after 7 months. I want to share my details to help anyone else in a similar position. My application is Set O, Tier 2, 5 year route. 2 employers during 5 years, no dependents. I tried calling to escalate after 6 months ...
So a caveat with this answer is that the number of June Set (LR) applicants (10 applicants) who have posted on this forum is significantly less than July applicants who have done the same (33 applicants). So the data and subsequent interpretation will be skewed. Now, that's out the way, so based on...
Hi Experts. I have received my BRP with ILR mentioned on it. I have noticed the following: ILR BRP came with new number. I checked my new BRP record on gov.uk and its showing record does not match. My previous BRP information is still showing on gov.uk with right dates. Also, I received an email fr...
How many people are still waiting from March/April/May applicants? I'm a June applicant myself and this is getting ridiculous. Timeline thread and replies here seems to have trickled to naught as well. Is whole UKVI on holiday now? As someone else mentioned before, please provide your feedback to th...
I am a May SET(M)applicant still waiting lets be patient all will be well. I am april 14th set m)applicant still waiting. I am June 12 Set (O) applicant with a dependent - and still waiting as well. I am March 27 Set (O) applicant and still waiting as well. I'm another June applicant here. Sent a f...
Hi, i want to ask those who get decision when they did dual submission, did you guys choose core service or enhanced ones? Cuz they ukvcas said if u want faster decision u may choose premium service Thanks That's just a way of UKVCAS to skim more money out of you. UKVCAS doesn't have any authority ...
I submitted my application on 22 June (after seeing priority applications were not coming back) and submitted my biometrics via IDV route on 29th August. I am still waiting. I have also submitted in person biometrics last week after coughing up some 110 Pounds or so. This is for ILR using 5 year Tie...
@typhoon476 I keep repeating this because some applicants like yourself have been very impatient. The standard processing time, even pre-covid, was 6 months. Luckily, post-covid applications are processed very quickly even when biometrics were delayed. So what is the complaint? Before 6 months peri...
Since IDV app has rolled out; submitting your biometrics via IDV app OR UKVCAS in person route has nothing to do with your decision pace. Your decision is based on your personal circumstances/case. Every case is different and processed on its own merits. HO carries out a number of enquires before a...
Same for me I just want this nightmare to over. I am also SET M applied 1st April. Wish I could do something about it. :( Similar status for me. I'm on Set O, straightforward Tier 2 visa, no dependants, applied to ILR after 5 years. Still waiting for decision while people who applied months later a...
I appreciate your answers and helping other people but this is very a inconsiderate post. People have been waiting for months right now. We had to wait for test centers to open to give Life in the UK test results, same for English language test results, some people like me waited weeks in case Prior...
I am hopeful I, an August applicant, will receive an invite this week You need to be realistic, most people in this forum have been waiting since April to provide their biometrics. You have zero chance of receiving your invite this week or even next week. I am referring to UKVCAS's last night annou...
Hi Cullinan, I have been following the posts and very thankful with your and everyone's positive! replies and information you supply. I think it is wortless. I have an enquiry regarding one of your previous comments on travel while awaiting the ILR decision for my application. I received biometric ...
This morning I was going through LinkedIn account of UKVCAS’s managing director. In his bio he describes himself as “obsessively focusing on customers problems” 😂 It makes me really laugh at their incompetence to not even see that they’re disastrous company entrusted to resolve immigration problems...
Extremely bad management, gross negligence on behalf of UKVI really. Why do we need to explicitly opt-out of something we did not *opt-in*? Why did they select a lot of people and made them wait for something that is not ready?
Hi Guys, I have been emailed by ukvcas that I would not need to come to an appointment as my previous biometrics can be used. However, since then I have not been contacted regarding submitting my documents. I was told in the email and in the guidance of home office that I will be emailed regarding ...
Hi all, May I check if you have got any confirmation email after submitting document on the UKVCAS website? So far I only have one email from UKVI to confirm my payment has been made, so I am wondering if you have received any additional confirmation or system generated emails? If so, do you get it...
I agree with everyone else here, UKVI and UKVCAS front line employees are not at fault here. If anything, they are probably sad and frustrated that they cannot help people who have very legitimate reasons to get their applications resolved. I believe this is because of the Hostile Environment UK gov...
