Hi All
Joining the rear of the queue today, under no illusions how long a wait we have, but like others have said we have all waited 5, 10 years or so to get this point, another wait given current circumstances was inevitable
I just have a few questions regarding what we do next. At the end of the Application, after we had paid our fee and downloaded our checklist, it states we need to "Attend an appointment to provide your documents and biometrics by 18 September 2020"
I'm guessing that considering I can not book an appointment, that is no longer relevant?
Also, I'm operating under the notion that as we have submitted our application and paid our fee, our leave to remain expiration date (12th August), we also do not need to worry about over staying this, as we have a current application pending? I don not need to apply for an extension or get an appointment before that date?
And finally, I have uploaded all the documents on the UKVCAS website, I was interested in the document checking service (just to catch anything we may have uploaded incorrectly), if I submit my documents today, can I still add this service on when I finally get an opportunity to book appointment?
We are hoping that we qualify for the biometric re-use as we had our biometrics taken end of 2017 at the 2.5 year stage (but before this UKVCAS took over) so fingers remain crossed for that
Good luck everyone with your own journeys, we will all get there!
