“Functionality to capture previous biometric will not be available until mid Aug.”; By reading this my personal understanding is, they have already informed to applicants whose biometric can be reused but will update it into their system by mid aug i.e. when this functionality is ready for business use. In that case applicants might not get decision atleast till mid Aug and anyways standard time for ILR is 6 months so they are within their standard time.jafersadeq wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 11:11 pmDear Members,

Well, this is a simple question: Just applied today for an ILR, and referred to UKVCAS for an appointment.
As you know, there's no slots available now!
Question: Which of the following should I do:
1) Enter every day to the UKVCAS website to see if they have slots?
2) Email them?
3) Call them?
4) Wait *for them to email me*?
Thanks you!
They are dealing with applicants in the date order that they have applied. If they are only updated their website to include those who applied up x May 2020, then you simply need to wait until you are emailed or contacted to book an appointment or when you can see availability to book.Gary3000 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:23 pmThanks!
I read this announcement, but it does not answer my question in an explicit and clear enough manner. Here are the questions raised when reading their announcement:
1- It is unclear what do people who registered after May need to do. Nothing is written about them.
2- It is unclear what the notion of "registration" mean. Do they mean that everyone who signed up to their service (i.e., using the sign-up page, entering an account name/email/password) is considered as "registered"?
3- It is not written that people who registered after May will get any email.
Thanks,
Gary
Why would there be a specific item for ILR?? Your existing visa conditions continue until a decision is made, no risk of being an overstayer. The updates are for those with time limited visas (non ILR applicants) mainly, who are affected by the various different visa requirements usually required.Gary3000 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:27 pmAlso: on Coronavirus (COVID-19): advice for UK visa applicants and temporary UK residents https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus ... -residents
nothing is written about ILR applicants as far as I see.

They won't tell those who registered after May what to do until they reach that point.
Yes you can keep checking if you wish to. But you will likely be emailed or contacted. Just try to be patient. There are 1000s of applicants they are trying to accommodate.Gary3000 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:31 pmOkay, thank you.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:26 pmThey are dealing with applicants in the date order that they have applied.

So I will wait for an email, or possibly should I check their website every day?
Thanks,
Gary
Oh, really? This sounds good! I didn't know that, because my Tier-2 visa expires in Oct 20, so I thought maybe that is a problem. But now I understand that when I apply, the visa still holds!!CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:30 pmWhy would there be a specific item for ILR??

They might update the other flash message sooner also. Usually I have noticed one updates after the other.VikasMandal wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:49 pmNothing MajorCULLINAN wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:40 pmUKVCAS new update: 15 July 2020

No you can not travel. The date of application is the date you submit. Unfortunately you will have to wait.
Infact, few of those service points that were planned to open on 20th July earlier are moved fowardCULLINAN wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:53 pmThey might update the other flash message sooner also.

I think they were unable to increase their capacity. Some of the centers that they were planning to open on w/c 13 July are now planned to be opened on w/c 20th July. Hence, they did not update the other flash message. That's what I think!CULLINAN wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 3:53 pmThey might update the other flash message sooner also.

So peoples visas expiring is not relevant then???MrBarry465 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:10 pmIt would have actually made more sense for them to pause any sort of application until they started reopening centres, isntead of just allowing this back log to 'pile up'. No doubt it was to keep the money coming.
