Hi,
Has anyone who applied for a visa after the 4th of September heard back about IDV/appointment?
I applied right after the 4th and getting increasingly anxious!
Hi, I applied on 5th Sep and haven't heard anything - today is the day when all the IDV invitations/emails are sent to applications until the 4th. So I guess we can hear from them later this week or next week.
Also, I was looking at some immigration statistics earlier today, which says that 97% applications from non-EEA nationals are granted on the year ending March 2020. EEA nationals are probably the same as the overall successful rate was 96% on the year ending March 2019 without mentioning non-EEA specifically.
So, not to worry and I'm sure the invitation/email will arrive shortly.
Quoting the official claim below.
4.2 Settlement
There were 95,120 decisions on applications for settlement in the UK from non-EEA nationals in the year ending March 2020, a 2% increase on the year ending March 2019. Of these, 92,031 (97%) resulted in a grant.
