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

According to the approvals reported in this forum and fb, the slowest week was the last week of October i.e. before lockdown. I don't think this has slowed down now. Yesterday we had a total of 10 SET reported which is not bad for Monday, hope it lasts.

This is all a complete joke!! Behind every single application there is a life and a story. Why do we have to wait for 6 months like this and not being able to travel or even make any changes in our life as our BRP has expired. It is definitely a form of discrimination. We pay £2400+ for an applicati...

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

No idea what is going on the UKVI side. Exactly 12 weeks since the application submission and almost 8 weeks since the biometrics submission via the IDV app. No update from the UKVI.. absolutely dead silence. It has definitely slowed down for all categories. This may be because of the Tiers and res...
