Tier 2 visa switch in country application

[nav18scse]

Hi,
I need some details about in-country uk visa application to swtich from Tier 2 Dependent to Tier 2 general.

I understand that we can expect some delay to process applications now. But I want to know,

1) Will the application process time starts from online applications submission date or Biometric oppointment date?
2)What is the process they are following now?
3) How long we may have to wait in this situation?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, Managed to apply but unable to book appointment. Looks like we will get slot only after July.

I am not sure, whether appointment will be opened for us to book or wait for a mail from UK visa center to do the same.

Also I hope legally we can be in UK until decision is made.

Thanks.

You will NOT be sent a 'mail' to book. YOU need to keep checking online and book.

Date of application is the date you apply online and NOT your biometric appointment. Your online applications must be in time and before visa expiry!!
