**** COVID19 and UKVCAS Appointments **** (ONLY discuss here)

[Emp35]

HI All,

I cant believe it but the day has officially arrived!
Received email from solicitor this morning, that approval was given yesterday afternoon!! (Will update my SET LR Timeline)

This group has been tremendously helpful and the only thing that kept me going through this entire stressful journey. Honestly dont know what I would have done without all of you.
Special thanks to @CULLINAN- and @poper @ajitu92 @Amy_R88 I'm hoping and I'm sure that all of you hear anytime now!
I really couldn't have kept sane without all of you!!

Yesss! Congratulations @jamd12! So glad to hear that your long, excruciating and torturous wait has finally ended! Out of curiosity, what extra documents/evidence did they ask you for?

They asked me to resend my days count document- as they said the spreadsheet provided was hard to follow! They said they had a different count then what I had claimed- clearly they were calculating wrongly!

Woah, okay that's a new one! Glad it's all sorted now though!

Hi Ajitu92, how’s your timeline for September looking?

[CULLINAN]

Hi everyone, just got an email confirmation for my successful ILR application. Took a bit over 2 months from date of application, roughly 6 weeks from documents upload, roughly 1 month from biometrics. Not too bad!

Thank you for every one help, especially Cullinan, CR001, Zimba and many others. I can not describe in words how grateful I am for the help and support of this forum's members who give such valuable information and advice free of any cost! From 2010 when I arrived in the UK on Tier4 to now for ILR, and perhaps next for citizenship application, this forum has been the one stop for all my queries.
Cheers to you all.

Congrats!!

Wow, congratulations jamd12. I'm so glad to hear that your wait is over and you have got your ILR. Happy Times ahead for you. Congrats again.

Feeling hopeful now again.
They haven't contacted me once with any additional document etc so don't know why its taking this long for me. But anyway, I'm pleased for you.

OMG OMG OMG! It just came through at 13:23!!!!!! I honestly cannot believe it! It definitely still hasn't sunk in...this is the biggest weight lifted off my shoulders since I can remember and honestly, I have no idea how I would've handled it if it wasn't for the support of this amazing forum and community! Thank you so much everyone, especially all the regular and extremely helpful contributors and moderators (you all know who you are). Tonight will be the best sleep I will have had in last 12 months! Thank you to all and I sincerely hope that everyone that is waiting gets their approvals sooner than soon!

[CULLINAN]

Thank you @poper!

Oh massive is honestly an understatement! Yes, I can finally focus on that. Thank you for all that you do as well! I pledge to continue my spreadsheet for Set LR (at least until priority and super priority services return) and contribute to this forum regularly. It's the least I can do. It's time for me to pay back all that I have gained.

I really, sincerely hope and wish that your decision comes through soon as well!

[CULLINAN]

Hi - Are we seeing general delays in BRP delivery these days? The ILR was approved on the 6th but no news of the BRP yet - not even the dispatch email.

[ajitu92]

@CULLINAN - For sure, I'll be on BC in around 12 months for sure! You'll definitely still see me around. I'll be keeping my Set LR spreadsheet live and updated (at least until priority and super priority return) and helping other forum members wherever I can!

Thank you all (@vivienne husky, @proms1, @schen, @Ameline, and @Shanvasu), much appreciated!

Also congratulations, @raj_262920!

Hi,

I have uploaded all documents on UKVI before 48 hours of biometric appointment (14th Jan) but forgot to submit and now the submit option not available. All documents will be submitted by default if not submitted before 48 hours? Please advise

Thanks

Hi, FYI - I got the approval email on 7th and received an email re BRP delivery yesterday (11th) from brp.courier.delivery@notifications.service.gov.uk. FedEx will be the courier. The estimated delivery date is tomorrow (13th).

If you don't mind me asking, which region of the country are you based in? I ask as both TNT and FedEx have been quoted as being couriers for home office BRP deliveries, just trying to figure out whether couriers are allocated based on geographical area/region.
