Are you the applicant and did you leave the country with a pending application? If so, your application will be considered withdrawn!bluesky123 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:24 amHi everyone, I have few questions and hope to find answers
1- is it oaky to use IDV app from aboard? I have to be away for few weeks, but due DOVID situation it may take longer to get back to UK.
2- would this have any affect on the application? (submitted on July)
3- Would i be receiving the decision by email?
Thanks
The user has posted in the British citizenship sub forum, presumably has therefore applied for citizenship, so has not made an immigration application where travel is not permitted while an application is pending. The rules does NOT apply for naturalisation applications!!bathanza wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 11:08 amAre you the applicant and did you leave the country with a pending application?

YES it is Naturalisation and registration for child application. Can I understand that I can travel with my child? if yes, can I use the IDV app while I'm abroad? I really hope you answer me as I'm worried now.CR001 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 11:18 amThe user has posted in the British citizenship sub forum, presumably has therefore applied for citizenship, so has not made an immigration application where travel is not permitted while an application is pending.

1- The "EU Exit" ID verification app from UKVI can be used from abroad, so I don't see any reason why it would be different for the non-EU IDV app.bluesky123 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:24 amHi everyone, I have few questions and hope to find answers

Thank you so much for your reply. Can I understand that this ( no restriction of travel) is also apply on the registration of child application?strong_and_stable wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 12:06 pm1- The "EU Exit" ID verification app from UKVI can be used from abroad, so I don't see any reason why it would be different for the non-EU IDV app.bluesky123 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 10:24 amHi everyone, I have few questions and hope to find answers

2- Citizenship applications do not restrict your travel outside the UK, so long as you maintain residence in the UK.
3- Decision is given by email, but IIRC, the ceremony invitation is a letter. If you are outside the UK for a long period, you may consider using a mail forwarding and/or scanning service.
If your child does not need to attend a ceremony, then they will become British upon approval, potentially making it difficult to return to the UK without a British passport. To apply for their British passport, you would require the certificate of registration.bluesky123 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 15, 2020 1:04 pmThank you so much for your reply.

There may be some solution for your case, but you should probably raise a unique thread to discuss your circumstances.
That’s Brilliant, thank you so muchCULLINAN wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 4:32 pmI thought to share as this post may help new applicants joining the forum or applicants from August and onwards.
Also it may answer some frequently asked questions.
Steps to follow after completing the form online:
Step 1: Pay and submit application via UKVI.
Tip: Date of application is the date you pay and submit online, biometrics date is irrelevant.
Step 2: After payment, you will reach “further actions page.” If you click on “book an appointment,” system will reroute you to create an account on UKVCAS where you can upload your documents and book an appointment.
Tip: You are sent an access code to set up an account on UKVCAS which usually lands up in Junk folder.
Booking an appointment is opening up in phases. Check the UKVCAS flash message for updates. As of now, it is only open for applicants who submitted applications before 31st July.
https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/flash-message- ... geId=74833
Step 3: Booking system is not open for August applicants as of now.
Next step will be communicated to you via email; either you will be chosen to attend the biometrics appointment OR UKVI will reuse your biometrics from a previous application.
If you fall under the latter group, you will have to wait for IDV app to launch to provide your facial image (which is expected to launch in August).
Tip: You are given a deadline to submit your biometrics on the further actions page. Ignore that, you will not be penalised even if you can not fulfil it.
Step 4: Now you can submit your documents to UKVI via UKVCAS portal even before your biometrics. The option usually appears when you have uploaded all your documents, sign out and sign in again. The option can be found on the “document upload page” right at the bottom.
Note: You can only submit once, so make sure your documents are complete before you submit.
You will be able to add more documents via your appointment/IDV app on a later stage whatever your circumstance be.
Tip: The best approach would be to benefit from the new feature.
Note: For certain categories/cases, the CW may request for the documents to be submitted via email. It does not matter if you already have submitted via UKVCAS portal, you can still submit documents via email if requested.
Step 5: Once the process as stated above is completed, you should wait for a decision.
Tip: Be vigilant and regularly check your email as all communication for next steps will be sent via email.

Some good news for all those waiting for the IDV app. I can see the app on Android playstore (should also be on apple Store). So, things seem to be moving quickly! Hopefully people should receive invites soon. Fingers crossed!
For now, its only showing up on google play not apple store. “UKVCAS IDV”
It is only available on Android playstore at the moment but not usable as yet.

Hi all,
I’ve seen the FAQ, but when I actually I try to do it it only offers cancellation as a possibility. No mention of rescheduling, and I don’t want to end up cancelling without rescheduling until I’m sure I need to.CULLINAN wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:57 pmhttps://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/sopr ... as/FAQ.pdfwegetthejobdone wrote: ↑Mon Aug 17, 2020 12:49 pmIs it actually possible to reschedule an appointment?

Hi, yes you can rebook but be aware you might get an appointment that's not close to the date you have. I cancelled my Friday appointment and moved it to this Wednesday.
