IDV App Info - for Applications Reusing Biometrics

Congratulations!!! 

Thank you 

I hope and pray that everyone else will receive the most awaited email from UKVI

Hi everyone,

I submitted my on line application on the 18th of August. Received my IDV bio reuse on the 9th of September. Did my Bio via app on the same date.

As many of us been wondering and hoping, I made another in person appointment on the 5th of November for Biometrics just to make it sure I have one in case no further update is given.

This morning, 15th October, I received an email informing me that my FLR (M) application got approved. My BRP card will follow in about 7 days.

The in-person booking that I made got cancelled automatically. (they sent me an email informing me that they've cancelled my up coming biometrics schedule).

It had been 8 weeks since I submitted my application online Aug. 18 and 5 weeks since I did my IDV app bio reuse on Sept. 9.

 I would like to thank @ksand24 and @larrabee for all your assistance and extra effort to assist each and every one of us and answering all our questions pertaining to our applications. Salute to you both. You have helped us in so many ways. Congratulations for a job well done supporting us every step of the way.

To everyone who's been waiting patiently to get their result, don't lose hope! I was just like you trying to keep my mind sane despite all the situation around us. Thou I've been at work, the majority of the time, my mind is somewhere else...wondering abut my visa. I know it's not easy but we will all get through it.

This forum basically became each and everyone's support system, I'm glad I am part of it. Thank you all, stay safe and God bless you. Keep Praying, God will be there to bless and guide us through.

Thank You,

Jay

Yaaaaay!  . You did it! Congratulations!!!

Congrats to all recent approval recipients!!! I am SO pleased for you!

My dates are earlier than many recent approvals (I applied online April 15; did the app on Aug 25).

I see a couple of the recent approvals escalated their case.... can you advise on the best way to do this?

Many thanks.

GREAT news! And yes, it's Friday!

I am trying to stay optimistic, but I did see instructions from the Twitter UKVCAS account with instructions on how to contact the government to find out about the status of your application. For ILR:
Telephone: 0300 123 2241
Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4:45pm
Friday, 9am to 4:30pm

I am so sorry, you should have had a decision well before today 

I called the Home Office line at 0300 123 2241 (charged at local rate), and followed through the prompts that my application was out of service standards. Don’t follow the COVID prompt or it will hang up on you.

I told them it was beyond the 8 weeks and I wanted to escalate. They took contact details - email, name, phone, and also my UAN. Then told me to wait 10 working days.

Good luck xx
