Flr m question biometrics

[suhaibumer]

Hi,

I submitted my wife's spouse flr m application few days before lockdown and paid for the application and NHS surcharge. Her residency permit expired on 7th April.

As the ukvcas centres are closed, can I still get her to do the biometrics at a post office? Also, can I also get her documents verified at the post office? I can see they charge approx £5 a document and I will have 30+ to get verified. Do post office send the documents off themselves of do I post them alongside the originals? Really confused at the moment.

Postoffice won't be able to electronically forward your supporting documents to enable the processing to begin. If you have submitted the application before expiry then will remain covered by section 3C until the decision arrives regardless of when will the lockdown be lifted.

You cannot apply by post. You also cannot enrol biometrics at the Post Office without HO specifically sending you a letter to do so. Applying by post is only available for a very small, limited number of applications. Spouse visa extension is not one of them. The Post Office is NOT the same service as UKCVAS.

And save your money. You are not required to verify the supporting documents.
