@Cullinan,
To prod a bit further on the above. What is the significance of hitting the 'submit' button on UKVCAS website when you cannot actually book biometrics appointment or have login access to the IDV app?
I have submitted SET(LR) on 29th August and uploaded documents to UKVCAS website but did not hit the 'submit' button yet.
Awaiting to hear back on biometric re-use or IDV app access
Post-covid: There is a general consensus that UKVI carries out some sort of processing even before biometrics submission.
If not, what was the purpose of introducing this new “submit button” feature in the first place?
And why would you not want to submit your documents to UKVI when they have allowed you to?
Clearly HO can not start processing your application without the documents so the best approach is to take advantage of the new feature.
Possibly it would speed up your decision after you submit biometrics.
But obviously, its your personal choice.
