Hi Members,

Hope you are fine. I have applied for Set (M) visa on 13.04.2020. Visa expired on 06/05/2020. There is no biometeics done. All documents uploaded on UKVCAS website.

Do I need to let coronavirus helpline about visa expired 06/05/2020?

Thank you.

Na. The home office know this already.
As long as you applied before the expiry date. Just sit and wait for a reply now. But it might affect your other half if they change job.

Once again. I’m writing from experience as my wife is on this same visa route.

Regards.

Hi Lucky,

I am british National. Application I have only shown my earnings. So if I change job or do business. Do you think it may impact the application?

My experience is financial situation at the date of the application.

Thanks,

AB

Yes the income until the date of application matters but still UKVI caseworker expect to see the applicant with same employer on their enquiry/investigation. So ideally remain with same employer until the decision or start doing new job/business along with your existing job.

Hi Members,

I applied SET (M) online 13.04.2020 then I was given bio-metric date till 15.06.2020, Now I contacted UKVCAS and they are not giving me the appointment date. They say speak to Home Office (HO) to get written confirmation.

But I have the written confirmation from HO when I applied online.

In addition, I never booked the appointment online.

I know they are re-opening on 01.06.2020, however what can I do to get the appointment?

I do not want my application to be invalidated, hence willing to pay to get appointmnent before 15.06.2020

Thank you for your time

Looking forward to hearing from you.

You must book your biometric appointment online through the UKCVAS portal. There is NO other way to get a biometric appointment.

NO ONE will be penalised for delays in submitting biometrics. The 15th June 2020 date is the NORMAL timeframe, which doesn't apply at the moment.

It is not clear what you are talking about. HO does not offer appointments when you submit. You are asked to book your appointment online with UKVCAS after submission is done. If you applied, they should offer you a chance to book your appointment

[abhardwaj1390]

If you applied, they should offer you a chance to book your appointment

I have applied on 13.04.2020. The last date of BRP is by 15.06.2020. But everything is close in UKVCAS. They are opening on 01.06.2020. I called them to book appointment but they said may not be possible until 15.06.2020. Any advise on how to book an appointment?

Kindest regards,

Have you not read my response???

You can't call to book. You must book online on the ukcvas portal.

As CR001 said you must book it online. The last day of your BRP is not relevant as your visa will be automatically extended under Section 3C. The slots may not still be open to applicants who applied after the closure of centres like yourself. So you must remain patient. They possibly are prioritising people who booked their appointments before lockdown but could not attend due to closures

Thank you and your response much apprecoated.
