Yeah that seems to be a record (5 working days). I applied on 1st but still awaiting biometrics appointment at the same location as this applicant. I think one other applicant applied and got an appointment the day after next and got a decision in a week.debrancherenzym wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 3:10 pmOne user posted in the time line section applying SET (O) on 7th Oct and getting an ILR in in 7 days, must be a record. maybe UKVI have hired new and "efficient" staff
OMG, UKVI indeed is not predictable. I'm becoming more and more worried as I hear nothing back since submitting biometrics in person on 10th Sept. I'm SET(O) as welldebrancherenzym wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 3:10 pmOne user posted in the time line section applying SET (O) on 7th Oct and getting an ILR in in 7 days, must be a record. maybe UKVI have hired new and "efficient" staff
Why dont you try and be the first one to let us know if it works?
Its evident from the cases reported on forum. I feel UKVI is planning to use COVID as further excuse to delay already delayed applications.debrancherenzym wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 12:33 pmAll decisions have slowed down, I guess UKVI will milk the COVID-19 excuse further since lockdown might be evident again, not good, disappointing
I got response from my MP. UKVI declined to expedite my son's case. They said, only life/death related cases are being considered as critical to expedite ILR application. Since my son's case was education does not fall in this category. They declined to expedite it. He is LR case. Just sharing this outcome so that it may help others.gyanp wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 11:00 pmThanks for your advice. I have sent letter to my local MP and will also write to HO.kiss300 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 10:27 pmYou need to send an email to home office detailing your situation. Also, contact your MP with this evidence and let them escalate your situation. Either is fine but I will go with MP.gyanp wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 9:34 pmHello Everyone,
Below are my son's details. He is 17 years old and applying for medicine course in one of the UK university. Deadline is 15th Oct 2020 for academic year starting on sep-2021.
I applied for his ILR on 11th Aug 2020 and in person biometric completed on 25th Sep.
His University has asked for resident permit that shows his status as settled so that he can be considered as Home student (annual fees 9500 GBP) otherwise he will be considered as an international student (fees 37,500 GBP).
Eventhough overall admission process starts in Oct offers to students will be given in Feb-2021 / Mar-2021.
I hope my son will get his ILR in coming weeks. However any suggestion that can help expediting his ILR application will be extremely helpful.
I will also discuss matter with university to consider his case and accept UAN number as an evidence of ILR application.
If you already attended an appointment, you should not have done anything else. You can use IDV app first and then go for an appointment, this is the first one when you went for appointment first and used IDV after.ssasi2020 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:27 pmI applied on 10 September, got invitation on 18 September for idv app. Instead i booked appointment for 28 September. Today i checked the idv app just to see what it says in my account, documents was submitted. But id verification section was saying incomplete( picture of face and travel documents both section) . Now i uploaded both and its completed and ticked green. I guess its a dual submission now.
I wonder why id verification section was saying incomplete!
I am just thinking if anybody got idv invitation must complete idv app, and f2f appointment is optional. ( otherwise why would it say id verification incomplete even after attending f2f).
Please continue in your own thread. Your half stories will lead you to get improper advice. You must submit biometrics for any application for it to be valid first before varying!fx125 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:31 pmHi Mods and Gurus,
I have an appointment for Application A, now I dont need it for application A anymore but for application B, so UKVCAS advised me to cancel the booking and immediately book it under application B. My concern is the newly-released slot will not show up right away but will be released next day together with new slots. Anyone have insights about this?
Thanks so much.
Congratulations! Please update the timeline thread at the top of the board with these details as wellukresident001 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:21 pmHi Everyone,
I have been a silent reader of this forum and i have received much help from every one specially cullinan. I just wanted to share my timeline here for my Set LR.
Applied 04 July
IDV opt out: 06-07-2020
In person biometrics London premium lounge: 26-08-2020
Approval received: 15-10-2020
Days taken from the date of application: 104 Days
My case was very simple, been with same sponsor for last 10 years.
To everyone who is waiting for their decision, please do not worry and stop thinking about it because there is nothing in our hands. Refreshing email app on idiot-phone or checking right to work status each day wouldn't help. Just hold on and forget that you applied and good news will be there for you

You went for an appointment, its normal what you saw on the IDV app. Not sure how you submitted via IDV app AGAIN!
Apologies, I thought questions about biometric appointments should be in this thread (while my thread is about ILR general question). Anw, I clarify my previous as belows.CULLINAN wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:33 pmPlease continue in your own thread. Your half stories will lead you to get improper advice.

Although this topic is to discuss biometrics, NO one knows what A and B is. Maybe not all can even figure out that you applied for variation. Its best to keep such questions in your own topic, with full history, so you can can proper advice.fx125 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:42 pmApologies, I thought questions about biometric appointments should be in this thread (while my thread is about ILR general question).

I made an application to replace BRP in Jul, opted for IDV and waited for 1.5m after IDV submission but havent heard from UKVI. Then I became ILR eligible and urgently needed to apply ILR for job offer. And despite BRP card is not required for ILR application, I kinda panicked so booked an in-person appointment. Now the IDV result came before the appointment so I want to use this already paid appointment for ILR application. So UKVCAS said I should cancel it and re-book but I concerned I wouldnt see the slot until next morning? Any insights?
So its no use then anyways. Your application is already completed when you attended your appointment. Do not play with IDV app.
Yes i was only able to upload. Submit button is disabled now.
