I canot glean the info I am after, can somebody summarise birefly the state of play now?
what I should expect now after hving applied on July 15th - SET (M) ?
July applicants have reported receiving emails either to book an appointment who are chosen to attend biometrics OR receiving an email for the biometrics reuse.
Those who have reported to receive “reuse email”, have also reported an option of opting out by 10Aug 5pm.
The ones who opt-out will be sent emails to book an appointment after 10th Aug.
You should check your email for updates.
PS The above all happened even without an official update on UKVCAS website.
Thanks Cullinan, much appreciate this..very useful...
I applied for my wife on the 15th July, no correspndece from UKVI, I have not uploaded any docs as well.
People who hv applied after 15th July got emails as well ?
I also now can understand why people are opting-out for the fear of delays...but opting in mean we still have to pay for the appointment ? thought it was included in the original application cost of £2408..
The best approach is to upload your documents and submit to UKVI via the new “submit button” featured on 10th July.
Appointments are always extra. These days majority all appointments are paid.
Members who applied after 15th July have reported receiving email also.
You shall be receiving an email soon. It comes in a span on 2/3 days.
In the meanwhile, check login to your UKVCAS account and see if you can see any appointment slots?
Some members have reported to view appointments even without an email (most likely the email is not pushed through in that case), if they are in the biometrics appointment attendance group.
