If there is an issue with biometrics, UKVI will contact you.
Thanks for that information. That's reassuring to know.

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

My wife had her biometrics appointment about a week ago for her ILR SET(M). I have reason to believe that its possible there could have been a problem with the photo that was taken during her appointment. If so, what would be the consequence? Could it cause my wife's whole application to be refused...

Re: Can dual citizen baby daughter enter UK on return trip using US passport?

Why don’t you apply for a British passport for the child too? Its something we could have done, but we haven't got much time left now unfortunately, and to get an urgent British passport is quite costly. Since I made this thread, I've found out that our child can enter the UK on a US passport, but ...

Can dual citizen baby daughter enter UK on return trip using US passport?

Hi. I am a British citizen and my wife is a US citizen who resides in the UK with FLR (M). My wife and 12 week old daughter (born in the UK but automatically a dual UK/US citizen) will be travelling to the US for two weeks very soon. We are applying for a US passport for the child, as it is a legal ...

Re: Disabled child leaving home whilst applying for wife's ILR M under adequate maintenance

Our child is about to move long-term into a residential care home ... After our son has moved into residential care, I intend to work on my career, but I'll wait until after submitting my wife's ILR M application for that, as it would complicate her application. Anyway, my question is, what will ha...

Benefits claimed by you have no influence on her application
But the benefit payments will be looked at to show that the requirement of adequate maintenance has been met, right? Like how it was when applying for the spouse visa.

Disabled child leaving home whilst applying for wife's ILR M under adequate maintenance

Hello. My wife (who has FLR M) and I (a British citizen) have a severely mentally disabled child for whom I am a carer. Our child is about to move long-term into a residential care home, as we cannot manage him at home any longer. We are about to apply for my wife's ILR M under adequate maintenance....

Re: BRP replacement application taking a long time

Is anyone able to tell me what the consequence would be if my wife's new BRP still hasn't arrived to her by the time that her current visa (FLR M) runs out? Thanks. Dreadful consequences may only occur if she wouldn't apply before her expiry. But in your case she can simply apply FLRM and add a cov...

She is eligible to apply for ILR in five months, and she still needs to take the Life in the UK test b...

My wife, who is on a FLR(M) spouse visa, lost her BRP some months ago, and applied online for a replacement one on 16 Sept. She attended her biometrics appointment on 30 Oct. It has now been over a month since her biometrics appointment, and 2½ months since she submitted her application, and we stil...

And when it was finally my turn, upon explaining my objective of being there, my case took les...

I would see if there's a way for her to apply for a passport through some fast-track process, seeing as she will need to do so before applying for a replacement BRP, which she must do within three months. There's sure to be some emergency process available by which she can get a passport quickly. Ma...

The checklist at the end is not very helpful unfortunately, as it doesn't provide any details of what we should include as proof as address, or how many documents are required.

Thank you for your response.
