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

Although I myself wasn’t eligible for biometric reuse I feel it is so unfair that at each stage the users chosen for IDVapp are pushed back into the pileup in the waiting arena. What is this special treatment that they get an email to inform first about IDVapp eligiblity and then wait another few w...

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

UKVCAS's fresh update says "It’s taken us a little longer to prepare the IDV app for Group applicants which meant that some cases were delayed, but this has now been resolved." What is the definition of "Group applicants"? 2 and more? Yes, 2 or more part of the same application....

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

Hi, I submitted my documents through the idvapp and my passports id page only. Do we have to submit other pages with the stamps too? Any suggestions would be helpful. Can anyone help me with this? At my biometric appointment my current passport pages bearing all stamps/visas were scanned by the off...

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

Frustrating wait continues for the IDV invite! IDV invites have almost dried up it seems for the last 3 days. Very few people have reported invites yesterday. UKVCAS has not even posted a new updated explaining the current situation. Are they going to send all the pending invites on the last day (7-...

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

After the selfie and liveness check stages, the applicant can also choose not to continue with the IDV app. From your post, it is not clear whether the applicant decided to suspend proceeding with the IDV app, and pursue a physical appointment instead. Can you confirm that the applicant actually cl...

On a slightly different note, this might be interesting for some. Probably your chance to vent out your anger:

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

You're not given the option to book an appointment unless you experience issues when using the app This sounds horrible and I really hope it's not true. My only hope was to book an appointment as soon as I receive the email and be out of this vicious IDV cycle! I wouldn't take that statement at fac...

Does anyone know how long it takes for non biometric reuse application to get an email from UKVCAS to do biometric in person? Please wait. Person who applied on 15-Aug received biometric invitation yesterday. So, you should get the biometric invitation in a few days I guess. https://www.immigration...

Applied on 22nd May 2020 selected for IDV app but unfortunately still waiting for invitation. I am wondering if there is any one else in the list waiting that long and try to contact UKVCAS or Home office and got positive response? Plenty of people waiting in all categories. Hang in there.

@Iamawonder, I see you are following the recent updates very closely. Thank you for being a part in helping others. I hope you get your IDV invite soon too.
Thanks, this helps me maintain some sanity to be honest :oops:

Hi all, we submitted our application on July 17th but our agent says they haven’t received email to book appointments. Is there anyone who are in the same situation. I am getting worried. If you haven't received ANY communication from HomeOffice or UKVCAS since you applied, then you can send an ema...

@Carrington1234 and @har_p3 have you received the IDV invite today? Just curious as @SIyer who was one of the early applicants like you got it today. Would be interested to know how fast is it moving in this second round.

Quick update everyone that I received the IDV invite email about 30 mins back. Just saw it now when I was doing my random email check. It’s just a matter of time that the rest of you will get it. Really happy for you as you have been long time waiting and were disappointed in the first round. Good ...

So I Sent my biometrics via IDV on the 25th of August, but as many of you, the 5-6 months wait has taken the best of me... Thinking of booking an appointment to take my biometrics in person even though I already sent it via IDV. Do you think this is ludacris or would affect my application? I’m just...

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

When I went for appointment at Croydon last weekend, I mentioned about the IDV app photo quality, and the staff there drew a blank. They asked me: "What is the IDV app?" Then, the staff doing my biometrics asked the neighbouring station, who also drew a complete blank about IDV mobile app...

This is good. It means they’ve seen your name in the queue so this is at least reassuring. All the best To my surprise UKVCAS were really quick in sending their response but was quite an expected reply. Here is my Question and response. Question: "Hello UKVCAS, My UAN number is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-...

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

Not heard of any IDV invites yet. Has the app turned nocturnal since Sunday? :shock: Seems like UKVCAS is on a break. Maybe the invites resume in a day or two. Don't want to ring any alarm bells but looking at the pattern, It could be that UKVCAS has already sent IDV invitations to everyone till Ju...
