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

@debrancherenzym There are definitely few waiting, I have seen them here and on fb. The 6 months for all May applicants will be due by 1st of Dec. I think they are trying to clear them up. However, the focus now is definitely on June SET (M) applicants, as this week alone, we have had 1 May approval...

Applied for Set M on 16 Sep, Bio done through app on 24 Sep. Is it likely to see the result before end of year? Thx Up to this moment, they have not touched September SET(M) applications or even very late Aug who have received the eligibility email with us (29/30/31 Aug). I think they would start p...

Sorry I'm not too sure which category my solicitor did everything I had discretionary leave to remain for 6 years
What visa you were on before you applied for ILR? We can guess which category and then help you with the timeline and expectations.

Oh okay, thanks for the info, could not find anything on the UK gov website so thought to check :) We cannot share links in here google 'why does BRP expire on 31 Dec 2024?' and you will get answers in forums. No one has ever said an official weblink cannot be posted!!! https://www.gov.uk/biometric...

Indeed although these Set (M) decisions seem to take ages! Patience is definitely required, my partner is an early Sep applicant.

Approvals have definitely slowed down with the impact of lockdown 2.0. Maybe more HO workers are working from home now.
I agree CULLINAN, I just hope it does not get worse. There have been a total of 53 ILR approvals cross categories reported though since Thursday 5th Nov.

@gag285

I agree, the focus was put back to Aug/Set Set(O) applicants especially IDV only users. However, they are still reviewing October applicants (e.g. fb user SET(O) Ancestry applied on 11/10/20 having in person appoint on 06/11/20 who got approval on 10/11/20).

Hi everyone, When did UKVCAS stop accepting IDV submissions again? I know that there's no IDV now but wanted to know when that stopped. It was in mid September. Thanks CR001. Hmm interesting. I see in the timeline thread that there are a few IDV submissions on Sep 23/24. These must be the last ones...

Hi Guys, Just wondering – if any of you (especially the moderators) have any idea about pre-pandemic ILR (set LR) timeline on standard applications. Wanted to compare pre-pandemic timeline to present, just to see if HO is anywhere near to reintroduce Priority/Super Priority services as a lot of us ...
