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

@Ameline Definitely the reports on this forum alone are a very small proportion of the total number of cases HO receives/user experience’s shared here. The overall picture is even worse. I browsed some other forums and facebook immigration pages, people have reported waiting since Feb-June for FLR(...

@Maazkay09 You cannot apply/submit the application now/before you receive your BRP as you need the BRP number and the expiry date to fill the application form for Naturalisation. I would suggest for you to start filling the application, sign the 2 reference letters and gather referees details needed...

Thank you very much for your swift response. We will hold off writing to UKVI. Based on what you are seeing, do you have any idea what sort of timescales we might be looking at for ILR SET M ? @Ameline and @Ajitu92 are best placed to answer this.

On a separate note, a SET(O) got approved in 5 working days, just saw on the timeline thread, application made 12th October, approval 19th October. There's definitely new staff working at UKVI who probably are efficient in the way they are working. Congratulations to that applicant. I think SET(O) ...

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

No one knows what is going to happen but this is such a pathetic system HO have for visa process. No feedbacks, no updates absolutely dead. They make almost ~800% profits on each ILR application, which means each application only costs them under £200. I am not going to have my hopes high as it has...
