Super Priority Visa - What is the point when the Sopra Steria appointment happens several days after

Post by MGLondon » Wed Jun 29, 2022 7:22 pm

Just wanted to understand, what is the point in making a Super Priority visa, which claims that the visa is processed within 24 hours of making the application, when the next available biometric appointment at Sopra Steria takes several days to book. And then the BRP takes another 7-10 days to process. So in essence, super priority visa = 30 days to process and not really 24 hours.

Shouldn't the biometric appointment for a super priority visa also happen soon in the next 24 hours? What is the point of the stupid BRP cards. Why can't there be an app for the same?

I do not want to rant, but really cannot stop. Coming to the UK has been a big waste of time and since the last 8 years of living here, I've lost mental peace and happiness because of applying for visas so many times and the process is still so archaic.

Home office starts looking at your application only when your biometrics are authenticated and photos to authenticate you are the same person. You could have used the app, then there was no need to go the centre.

Once the decision is made, your right to work or live is already enabled digitally for your employer to check. You don't have to wait for BRP.

They are going to do away with BRP from. 2024
