UKVCAS Centres to start reopening on June 1!

I had my appointment yesterday. Thought I'd share a few things in case anyone is planning/worried about theirs.

-I had to take my (non-applicant) daughter with me due to childcare issues and no one said a word about it.
-We went to Mark Lane in the city, they had spaces marked out to queue 2m apart but the street was empty anyway.
-We went by bike (there's a rack nearby to lock up).
-We arrived around 30 minutes early and they didn't have a problem with that. We waited not even 5 minutes to get in.
-Asked us to use hand sanitzer before we went in the room.
-Our little room had a bottle of sanitizer next to the finger reader.
-Staff wore face shields and sat behind plexi-glass screens.
-Most of the waiting area furniture was shoved to the walls; went in the office one way and out another. No risk of coming within 2m of another person the whole time we were there.

Thanks for the report, it sounds like it went very well. You must be so relived!
Good luck with the application.

That's good news that they are taking social distancing seriously and getting people through as safely as possible. Also important to know they have a queue system because I definitely wouldn't be able to safely stand in one, so I know I'll have to ask for adjustments. Thanks for sharing! I'm just patiently waiting for the ability to schedule mine for FLR(M)

It definitely felt like they were being cautious. I had two masks with me thinking I'd wear one, remove for the photo, and then put a clean one on, but they said I didn't need to.

Good luck with everything!

And yes, Larrabee, definitely felt good crossing that off my to-do list!
