Absence calculation

Just want to double check the absence calculation for naturalisation (spouse of British citizen - 3 years). I have to list absences from the UK during the last 3 years. So if my application is on 18 October 2020, do I list all absences from 17 October 2017, or do I need to list all absences for the ...

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

I’m curious if anyone who received ILR approval after using the IDV app has received their BRP or tracking number. And for those who used the app and attended an in person appointment, which picture is on the BRP? (Apologies if this is off topic :| ) So I received my BRP today, but with the same pi...

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

Guys the situation with IDV app decisions are looking extremely dire. Have you heard any recent approvals via the IDV app? I am losing hope now :cry: I think the IDV decisions should start flowing in this week. Towards the end of last week we had one ILR applicant who reported a decision. So, seems...

I don't know how/who to escalate it. I've given up. When did you apply and use IDV app. I’ve lost the link to FLR(M) timeline and can’t find it! If you speak to your MP they can get an update on your application. I applied 28 March and used the app 19 August. It takes HO up to 20 working days to re...

Yes, no ILR applicant has reported a decision after IDV yet. But should be just a matter of little time. Wish there were more in the FLR(M) group to see what timeframe that’s working under.

Did you get your decision yet? I also enrolled for biometrics of the 19th August at Croydon and I'm yet to receive a decision. It could be that they are deciding nearer to the current leave expiry date. My current one expires 12th Oct october. I enrolled my biometrics on 19th of August for set M, b...

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

Decisions have not necessarily slowed. Ours took 3 days from uploading docs and attending biometrics to getting decision. So there is hope. My experience may bee an interesting datapoint on biometrics for people as well. Applied July 31 with solicitor advising (but used my email). I made a special ...

Hello All, I am new to this forum but I found it as very useful Just a quick question. Has anyone submitted photos through IDV app and received a decision from UKVI?

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

It will be great to know if anybody who had given the biometrics using the app had received any decisions yet? It is a few weeks since the app came out. If UKVI had previewed the applications as the stated, the decision should come out quickly. Nothing for me so far, since 19 August. Getting a bit ...
