UKVCAS Super Priority Service

[pride88]

Hi All,
Good news & thank you everyone for sharing the details here.
Update from me: I just got Biometric card today (But didnt get any prior response email saying that they have approved my application etc.) all of sudden just got the courier today. which is a surprise.

I am hoping everyone here who has been waiting for few weeks should get soon too. I will request for the refund soon (£600 priority application fees)

Thanks

Did you get a message from the courier serivce that you were going to be delivered a parcel?

Hello Guys!!

I would like to share my experience with UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Application Type: SET O (Tier 2 to ILR)
Application Submitted: December 10, 2018.
Appointment: December 18, 2018 11:00 AM at Wakefield Library (Sopra Steria)
ILR Approval Email Received: December 19, 2018 11:30 AM.

Waiting for the BRP

Did you get your BRP? if so when?

[fauji74]

Hello Folks,

It seems like a right little UKVI mess we have landed ourselves into!

My timeline for a simple ILR to NTL BRP application:

Application: 11 Dec.
Bio-metrics Appointment: 13 Dec (Glasgow).

No communication since then. Really frustrated!

I need to travel over the holiday period. Hanging by the window and hoping the BRP will land before my flight out on Monday evening.

it is wise to Always book your tickets after you receive your BRP to avoid disappointment!

[fauji74]

Agreed!

Also wise not to trust UKVI to deliver services as promised I guess! What a shame!

[pride88]

Yes that too! but they receive so many applications at this of the year. Spare a thought for them too! They must be working overtime to sort all this.

The delays may be due to an unexpected number of applicants using the super priority option and the resulting number of applications to process. Plus it seems there may have been a glitch in the system over a few days. Decisions seem to be coming in quicker now and I see one person on another forum has been reimbursed because the decision was not given within the twenty four hour timeframe.

Can you share the reference for this?

Michali, Im guessing this person who got reimbursed is on immigrationsboards.com. A significant number of people have had no communication or very delayed communication and would like to apply for refunds. It will be great if you can share the link on this very forum.

Also does anyone know if SET M needs something signed by the applicant? I didn’t see anything that actually required my signature when I applied online...

No, it was not on this forum and I am not sure I am allowed to post links to other forums. The person had not requested a refund.

I hope that someone who has recently applied for SET (M) will advise but I found this in a similar post concerning the declaration/consent form on this forum. Maybe if no one advises, it would be good to fill it out and when you go for your appointment, ask the staff at Sopra Steria if it should be uploaded under mandatory documents.

Thank you Michali for helping! You can imagine I’m starting to panic as my appointment is tmrw morning. Do you know which consent form I should take..the one on the old paper form? Or I found one online but not sure if it is outdated as the wording is a bit different than the paper form from 07/18....

[michali]

I'm sorry, I really don't know! Did I even post the link?! I am so busy cooking!

That was the one someone posted recently but I have no idea if it is the correct one.

Thank you for the link! I know it’s a busy time and sorry for the bother ...I really appreciate your advice ! Anyone who has recently applied for set M please let me know if the new process is asking for signed consent declaration

[michali]

No problem at all! I just wish I had a good and decisive answer to give you.

[allyf]

No worries at all! I will sign those forms that you sent to me (by the way, was this a link that you found on your own or was it posted on the forum?)
I will keep you posted after my appointment tomorrow and can let you know what they say...

[oldmankensey]

I am going through SET(M) currently, also didn't get presented with consent form but printed, scanned and signed the one that was linked above, thinking it's better to present one form too much than one too few. I uploaded that scan to Sopra Steria so it's there in my uploaded docs. If it's not relevant, it can be happily ignored.

Thank you!! oldmankensey! I appreciate your response ! I will definitely have it ready to go. I’m assuming you put it under OTHER documents?

[michali]

Great! I thought it had to go under Mandatory docs along with passport.

[oldmankensey]

put it under "Other", yes. I really don't think those categories are THAT important, just an organisational tool to help both you and the caseworker. Plenty of people have uploaded everything in one category and others, like me, tried to use logical filtering but the caseworker will see everything anyway.

[pride88]

Hi guys!
This question is for people who have received their BRPs.

Did DX email or message you before delivering the BRP? if so when did they message? the day before or the morning of the delivery?

For those you have used solicitors for their applications, did you personally get the BRPs or did your solicitors get it?

Regards
