Dear All,
I was applying tier 2 pbs extenstion for my wife. We got an email from VKVCAS (on 6th Aug) that she need not attend an appointment as her biometrics can be reused. As a next step, UKVCAS will send an invitation to use new IDV app.
But till now I have got no further communication from UKVCAS.
Do you know how long is the wait for the email from UKVCAS?
Do I need to wait for their invitation email or I can simply download the app now and proceed?

Why not keep an eye on the frequent updates on the ukcvas website!! We don't know anymore than what is updated online.
You have to wait for further communications.
https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/flash-message- ... geId=74833
Our plan is to email eligible IDV customers inviting them to use the IDV app:
By 7 September 2020 for IDV customers who have registered with UKVI and UKVCAS up to 31 July 2020
By 14 September 2020 for IDV customers who registered with UKVI and UKVCAS in August 2020
Char (CR001 not Casa)
In life you cannot press the Backspace button!!
Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

Hi All,
Same with me as well.
I also received "Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app" email on 6th August.
I submitted my visa application on 22nd July.
As per the updates on the ukcvas website, applications submitted upto 31st July 2020 should receive IDV app invitation by 7th Sept 2020 but still I didn't received any from UKVCAS.
Though couple of hours left for end of 7th Sept.
Anyone else who submitted the application around end of July 2020 got the invitation?

I equally got the same letter of introduction but went ahead to download the app and I was asked to login to upload my documents, even the face capturing was done and final submission made.

For your ease there's topic: Tier 2 In country timelines where individuals are updating their status of applications, might help you out.
One of my friend got decision on 9th October for submission via IDV which was done on 29th August.
Normally need to wait 8 weeks before escalating the case.
