I have a quick question please, when uploading passport scans, should I scan every single page of my passport and compile into one pdf document to upload?
I have 2 passports so I'm guessing I need to upload in one big file.
Thank you!

Make one PDF/passport if you can manage the size under 6MB. You can also use PDF compressor to reduce the size if needed. Always best to upload full passport including the blank pages.
You are covered under Section 3c once you submit your application in time. Visa expiry has nothing to do with it. You are covered by Section 3c till a decision is made on your new application, if you have made an in time application.Thank you for the reply. I was under the impression that Employer submit the checks using Employer checking service and you are not covered under section 3C until home office reply to your employer and confirm that I have submitted application in time and my current status is valid until 6 more months. Is it not correct?
You can not loose anything if you submit via the portal. It can only be beneficial. Make sure your documents are complete before you hit the submit button as you get this option once. You can submit more at your appointment/via IDV app.
Uploading documents onto the UKVCAS website
If you upload documents to the UKVCAS website, you can submit them to UKVI before completing your biometric or identity verification check. Don’t worry. You only need to upload each document once. This can be via the website, at a Service Point, or through the UKVCAS Identify Verification app.
Rollout of the UKVCAS IDV app will take place in phases, beginning in August. UKVI confirms which customers are eligible to use the UKVCAS IDV app as UKVI can use biometrics you have previously provided.
We are continuing to open up the booking system in date order, we have currently released appointments to customers whose applications were received by UKVCAS up to 31 July 2020.
Our appointment booking service is now displaying all dates up to 13 September 2020. Currently new dates are NOT released every night. We will inform you in one of our website status updates, if this changes.
I'm a July applicant, can't see any available appointments yet. (I got the reuse email)CULLINAN wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 2:47 pmImportant Points:

You have to wait for the IDV app as you are in the reuse pool unless you choose to OPT OUT by 10th Aug 5pm(if you have received an email).
When I was at UKVCAS last time I enrolled my biometrics, the lady at the counter checked the files that I uploaded the last minute. She told me that the initial files that I uploaded were fine but the files that I uploaded very recently, weren't quality checked yet, and she did that during my appointment by opening each file one by one.

Did you check your junk folder?
You can only submit ONCE. You can upload more documents now but will not be able to submit. You will be able to add more documents at your appointment/via IDV app.
There are two people got appointments around page 88. One is called summer something. The other one’s name start with bn8net wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 8:14 pmi hv now received the re-use email as well (applied 15th July) and not sure what path to chose, app or appointment.
