I am employed on a fix monthly salary well above the required level of £27200 (wife and 3 children), I have selected category "a".
Appendix II is mainly comprised on questions regarding to income and according to several members it is not needed to fill because of already be conjoined with the online application.

Category A - salaried person is fine provided you are working with same employer from at least 6 months.

Struggling with Getting Bio Metric Appointment

Post by Needo » Thu Aug 20, 2020 12:17 pm

Hello Dear All Members,
I submitted Appendix FM (Partner) application for my wife and Appendix FM (Child)x3 applications forms online on 7th of August 2020. Since then I am struggling to get an appointment for bio metric enrollment for my family of 4 at VFS center Islamabad Pakistan. (My struggle is on going).
Now my question is that is there any time limit where an applicant is required to enroll his/her bio metrics after submission of online applications? Because I doubt the current situation will ease out and I also doubt there will be any appointments available any soon.
I look forward to your advice.

Before lockdown there was a deadline which now isn't tangibly enforced but the applicant is always advised to keep search for it whilst keep an eye on its email account including the spam folders.
