Email approval and new BRP in hand.
For completeness, please see the below dates and activities.
June 12th 2020 - Online submission for FLR (M).
August 3rd 2020 - Received generic email advising delays in processing of application due to Covid-19.
August 3rd 2020 - Received email to advise that previous biometrics can be re-used.
August 6th 2020 - Responded to previous email as we decided to opt out of the IDV App as we preferred an in person appointment and document scanning service.
August 13th 2020: Received email advising us to book an appointment at a Sopra Steria centre. Whilst searching for appointments there were no free appointments or paid appointments at any London Location (as we live in London) we finally managed to find the first paid appointment in Croydon (no free appointments) for the 5th of September.
5th September 2020: Attended biometrics appointment in London Croydon, this included a document scanning service and submission to UKVI. (Note: it helps if your documents are in order based on the checklist, this expedited the entire appointment and my wife was in and out in half an hour, inclusive of document scanning, biometrics and digital photograph)
25th September 2020: Received approval email advising that BRP will arrive in approx 7-10 days.
30th September 2020: Received new BRP in the post.
Note: Not that I think it makes any difference to the timeline what so ever, but I did also contact my MP on 23rd September to brief him on the situation.
For all those applicants still waiting (and your respective patient spouses!) Hang in there and as always I am available for any questions/concerns/anxiety management.
