Did you get this after calling UKVI below?klownking wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 10:57 amJust got this response from HO when I asked for the application update.
Code: Select all
The application is still in progress and the information submitted via the IDV app will be reviewed. The applications are being worked in date order. I am afraid we cannot give a time scale at this stage.

Congratulations, really happy to see a SET (M) approval from as early as MayPat01 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 11:19 amI received the ILR approval email at 10.42 this morning from the email address UKVISETM@homeoffice.gov.uk. SET (M) application decisions seem to have been very slow in coming - mine has taken 5 months and 1 week since the original application date of 1st May 2020.
I used the IDV app on 27 August 2020, and then did an in-person biometrics submission in Croydon 4 weeks later (23rd September). I'll be interested to see which photo they use for the BRP, IDV app or Croydon photo.
I also made a submission to the call for evidence by the Chief Inspector of Borders & Immigration for his inspection of Home Office/UKVI and its partners' "front end services" before the closing date last week. I drew attention to misinformation provided, including screenshots as corroboration:
Misleading information on the UKVCAS web site, e.g.
19 Sept 2020 UKVCAS web site:
“UKVI will send updates to customers with an application in progress over the next 2 weeks to let you know what’s happening with your application.” This never happened and this message has subsequently disappeared!
24 Sept 2020 UKVCAS web site:
“UKVI have told us that they aim to deal with ALL applications in date order. This means that your case will be dealt with by UKVI based on the date of your registration with UKVI/UKVCAS.” ...which is demonstrably untrue, as SET (M) decisions came very slowly compared to other categories and even then not in order of application/registration date.
Yeah there were no single SET(M) approval reported in this forum for the last 2 days.debrancherenzym wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 11:35 amCongratulations, really happy to see a SET (M) approval from as early as MayPat01 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 11:19 amI received the ILR approval email at 10.42 this morning from the email address UKVISETM@homeoffice.gov.uk.

My application is successful. just received an emailCULLINAN wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 3:16 pmYes. You can book an appointment from 21st Sep. Even if you have already uploaded and submitted documents, you still have to attend an appointment to submit your biometrics.Ashwin_18 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 3:14 pmI submitted my Set(O) T2G application on the 13th of September. Went for the standard procedure as that was the only existing option. i have also uploaded and submitted my documents in UKVCAS website on the 13th of Sep. Can i book for an appointment on the 21 of September. As new applicants from Sep 5 wont be receiving invites for IDV app does it mean the wait time is now reduced and we are able to book an appointment quicker.
Could someone explain please ? How does this work ?
Many thanks for the valuable information and observations. Can't agree more. Thank you for submitting a query to the Chief Inspector... At least someone has highlighted this.Pat01 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 11:19 amI received the ILR approval email at 10.42 this morning from the email address UKVISETM@homeoffice.gov.uk.

We applied exactly the same day, 1st May - gone through all the steps up to the IDV app but not booked the in person biometrics.

Pages of comments here, I think I've only seen success when people have gone for that in person appointment!
Sorry, yes - this might be slightly different. It's a spousal extension but the stages followed by the poster above are identical to ours in terms of dates, except we haven't done the in-person biometrics, assuming doing them on the app would be equally quick.

In total only 4 people SET(M) have reported receiving approval using only IDV, round 13 SET(O) and over 4 people SET(LR), 1 Tier 4 Student...

As long you have the new BRP, ignore the highlighted.Thanks a lot Cullinan for your advice. I've received the BRP to my old address finally. As expected, it has the picture taken at physical appointment.
But I couldn't get any details when I check with new BRP number on UK right to work page. I'm getting "The details entered do not match our records" error even though I've entered correct details. And my old BRP still showing the earlier details. Not sure, if everyone has the same issue.
What is the visa expiry duration on your lost BRP? Do you have a copy?
I attended appointment yesterday at HM Passport Office in London Victoria. Only the appointment letter and passport were asked from me. But I brought copy of all requirements in my checklist just in case.indgirlinglasgow05 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 4:02 pmHi,
I have already submitted my biometrics via IDV on 8th Sep (App date 11 Aug). However, after over 8 weeks of no response, I have finally booked an in person appointment for tomorrow(£111). I can see there are documents already uploaded on UKVCAS website. So, what all documents do I actually need to take tomorrow for the appointment ? And is there anything else that I need to upload. Please advise.
Thanks.
Validity for ILR “card” is till 2024. You will need to renew the “card” after that if you do not plan to become a British Citizen. Its like renewing a driving license.Luluokis29 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 5:22 pmHi guys,
Update:
I received BRP today with old pics from previous. In my case, it is safe to say dual submission didn't work. I also noticed the expiry date is 2024 as opposed to 10 years validity (not that it matters).
Most Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) that do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology are required by the EU to have a validity date of no later than 31 December 2024.
