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

Feels like SET (M) isn't much of a priority for UKVI in terms of giving a decision quickly, hopefully things can change soon and decisions can be sent quicker for everyone I think SET (M), Set (O), SET (F) and SET (LR) are dealt with by different departments/sections of the Home Office. Definitely ...

Just out of curiosity, if a document was missing or something wasn't right on application surely UKVI would ask for further supporting documents wouldn't they? I applied SET M 22nd June, IDV 28th August and in-Person 15th Sept in Croydon, haven't had a decision yet, thinking maybe something is wron...

HI Guys, I have seen on timeline form, people saying uploaded documents to UKVI. How to upload documents to UKVI? Just curious to know incase I have missed anything.

@Ameline Different visa routes have different rules. For PBS categories its the visa issue date. For yourself since you applied spouse visa, its visa entry date. Yes my bad, sorry, it makes sense.

Hi Cullinan sir, Guru, I am eligible for ILR from today (entry date 17-Oct-2015) and have few months before visa expiry (14-Jan-2021). Given that UKVCAS says that they were planning to open ‘pre covid services’ on 21 Sep but are still testing with UKVI - does it make sense to wait for 1-2 days to k...
