I'm in the same boat, no updates really. It's quite likely that I'm going to start without my visa being ready

Hi
did you give biometrics as well ? if you didnt, obviously there wont be any processing. i did apply in may, i got 2 emails from homeoffice, one an apology email regarding not able to deal within 8 weeks and another asking for documents which were irrelevant for my application + an error. even they are overwhelmed i guess !

The OP applied form OUTSIDE the UK, not within the UK so slightly different circumstances to you!!

There is obviously a pandemic, with many visa holders (with expiring visas) stuck in the UK unable to leave the UK and many British citizens stuck abroad. The Home Office has been focusing all their energy and staff on these critical issues. Your situation of applying for entry clearance outside the UK will unfortunately not be deemed a priority.

There are massive delays in the UK too for people who have applied.

Perspective!

Hi,

Update from my side

I also applied for the visa extension in March. I have received an email from the Home office to book an appointment for biometrics. Now my appointment has been booked for next week. But one of my friend done his biometrics yesterday.

Thanks

Hi Thank you for the update, may I know have you had an existing appointment cancelled/postponed prior to suspension of the UKVCS service.
