Yes. Good thinking. Once I get the BRP, I shall confirm here it is the app selfie or the Croydon photo.Sez30 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 2:59 pmI suppose it depends on which photo is on your BRP to which biometrics they used?krishnakumarg wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 2:52 pmGot a decision from UKVI just a few minutes back (Sep 7, 2020 14:24 BST).
My application for Global Talent visa has been successful. BRP is on the way and should be delivered within 7 working days.
My timeline:
Online application submitted (& IHS fee paid): July 01, 2020
Biometrics done through IDV app: August 28, 2020
Duplicate biometrics submitted in-person appointment at Croydon due to me messing up IDV photo: August 29, 2020.
I don't know if it was the physical biometrics appointment that relatively sped up things (or it can be taken as a sign that IDV applicants are getting decisions).
Anyway, thanks a lot to all the people in this forum. It has been tremendously helpful to be in this journey together. Apologies to cullinan and iamawonder for any consternation I have caused to them in the past.
The IDV app selfie is against a dark background (actually a very busy background, with portions of pictures on the wall and cloth hangers etc on a bedroom door appearing on it).
The Croydon photo is against a light background, and is really professional. (On my request, the staff had turned their monitor around to see all the supporting docs including photo).
