**** COVID19 and UKVCAS Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

[iamawonder]

It's 6 PM. Showtime anytime! Good luck to April/May IDV users still waiting. Hoping that today is your lucky day! Cheers!

I applied on April 1, and still haven't received any idv invite yet. I tried logging in to the idv app and it says
"This account has no cases enabled for Mobile Access".
Still hoping I will get the invite within this week.

What category you have applied in? Also, did you try contacting UKVI or UKVCAS?

[har_p3]

This could not get more frustrating...we a family of 3 applied for ILR (LR) on the 10th and 11th May respectively. The one on 11th got an IDV app usage invite yesterday...but not the ones on 10th May! Called up UKVCAS IDV helpline and they are clueless...they say its UKVI who decides who should be invited...I wish these organisations have some transparency in their ways of working. This whole experience so far has been so frustrating that we can't wait for this to be over and never even think about it!

Has anyone else had the same experience of selectively being invited from the same family?

Why did your family apply separately?
We are in a similar situation - applied separately because both me and my partner hold tier 2 visa, and he had now received biometrics appointment (With our child) while I am still waiting I assume for the app. I am just wondering if that was correct or whether one of us should have somehow applied as a dependent of the other (it didn’t seem so when we were applying but maybe I interpreted the rules wrong).

We applied for ILR set LR and I think you can only apply as an individual and not as a group in this category.

Hope some people updates the forum when they see the invites!

For biometric reuse applicants who may get IDV invitation today, can you please post your ILR application date so that others know how far has UKVCAS reached ?

Anyone who applied towards the end of the period of 1-15 Aug received an invite to book an appointment? I applied on 13 Aug but no news

No disregard for you.. But its funny how people who just applied 10-15 days ago are feeling so anxious when there are people who applied in March, April or May and still haven't had update. The world is full of irony

@har_p3, strange that you are still waiting for your 10-May application and invites have started today already with one being reported by 16/05 applicant.

Why am I not surprised by this kind of reply at all? Possibly that’s why some haven’t received an update. No offence

I applied on 7 August and have not received anything yet. However, they've got until 30 August to send out those emails, so the deadline is still 4 days away.

I guess, as I said, the world is full of irony and unfair practices

Someone just reported before today that they applied on 16th April and they received the invite today only.. So does not appear to be strictly in date order. Whatever their criteria is i think is beyond rationale and logic.

Not sure if 16 April was a typo by @Haminal321 as there are 2 back to back posts by him with the next one saying 16/05

Just got mine tonight as well. Are we ok to just submit the document we had uploaded on the sopra steria when we first initially made the application? or do we need to submit again our latest bank statement and payslip? TIA

latest bank statement and payslip not needed. The documents should be current when you applied (made payment).
Which invite you got btw? IDV? when did you apply?

Chaps let's not descend in to ill feeling for our fellow applicants. Be it March applicant or September, many of us have been in this immigration system for a long time. I think most of us have had an experience of losing a dream job, missing precious time with loved ones or generally paying through the nose for poor service! I myself have been waiting well over a decade. We're nearly there folks!! Just hold on a bit longer
