I just checked my account after reading in the forum that someone just booked an appointment. It is allowing to book an appointment, please check your accounts.

Do I need to book 2 different appointments, as we are 2 people applying together. I can't see any option to add the qty in booking system.

My closest is Birmingham and only premium lounge appointments are available here.

I am checking book your appointment section again and again and no appointments visible. No email. I opted out on 10th August too. Let us know if you receive any email or are able to view any appointments?

Applied: 10th Jul
Opted out: 7th Aug
Invited to book appointment email: 13th Aug at 6.30pm
Paid: 110

Booked one in Croydon for next week. Good luck everyone! I was able to book an appointment an hour before the email was actually sent to me. Check different service points as some have no appointment slots left.

Have you received an invitation to book an appointment yet and when have you opted out?

I can see as many service points as I want (you just need to enter different post code)

I have booked and paid but I have not received a confirmation emai or QR code. Does this take a while to receive?

Hi Everyone,

Booked my biometrics appointment for this Saturday in Glasgow. The confirmation e-mail asks to bring all original supporting documents, even if they were already uploaded.

Most of my supporting docs ever existed as pdf files and I just uploaded them on UKVCAS site (pay slip, bank statement, letter from employer, cohabitation proof etc). Do I now need to print all of these or just take them in a pen drive?

Thanks
