New Appointment Centre UKVCAS

[Rajsharma86]

Hi,
I have booked super priority service for next week for family route visa. I tried to upload the documents & did upload quite a few of them ,but when I logged out & logged back in - there were no documents showing as uploaded & saved. I tried again & same thing happened. Could anyone please guide me on how to save the documents once i upload them ,

Many thanks

Hello

I have booked for my premium SET-LR application through the UKVCAS for tuesday 13th at Birmingham. Did anyone use this service before in any centre? Do anyone have experience of how long they take to process apllication? Did any of you upload the documents by yourself?

Thanks

I have booked my appointment with UKVCAS and now ready to upload my documents online. I did exactly like what you did but i haven't any email from them. Im going to my appointment next thursday in Liverpool and hopefully can get a decision on friday..

However i am facing a problem.When I went to upload my documents, under "Mandatory documents" section, it doesn't give me any option to upload anything. There is nothing under document type. However, under "Optional documents" section, I can see that there are many document types I can choose to upload my documents. I am just wondering if there is anything wrong? Why I cannot upload anything under "Mandatory documents" section??

Have you faced the same issue too when uploading documents?? What options do you have under Mandatory documents and optional documents?

Hi . Can you tell me pleas how you get the 6 digitacces code to booking the appointment in UKVCAS Cause they dont send me the code , what to do ?

If your passport is with the home office what do you upload under proof of identity/ travel history?

Hi. Earliest to apply ILR (m) is 28 days before, for me that is 7th Jan 2020-ideally that’s the day I want my appointment.
So when do I apply online?
I’m looking to minimise the time/days
If 7th January can I apply say mid December/3 weeks before, pay & book the 7th for my appointment, thank you

Today I received an email from HO stating that mu application is still under consideration. However, at the end of the email it says that my outcome will be sent in writing...I applied under superpriority and had my biometrics done last dec 17. It’s super delayed now. It’s an ILR application from Tier 2 route. It’s quite alarming. Anyone had the same experience? Please enlighten me.

I'm ready to upload my documents. I'm applying SET(O) from Tier 2 General.
What pages from passports need to be scanned? I have had 3 passports since I arrived in the UK, so that's a lot of pages .

Hello All,

I submitted my application for FLR for both myself and my son on 21/1/2019 in Croydon using the new system. This is my last application before we apply for settlement. Biometric was taken and submitted but haven't heard anything back. no acknowledgement and nothing. Was wondering if anyone has submitted their application using the new standard system and how long it took.

[Rub22]

I have submitted mine on 25th January 2019.i haven’t received any acknowledgement.

[poladime]

I am hoping that there is someone who must have applied using the non priority on the new service that has at least received something or heard anything. Its just concerning that you don't have anything to show that your application has been received after you have attended and enrolled your biometrics with UKVCAS

Hi poladime. I made a separate post about this exact topic, but it was 'locked' without comment and I was pointed here. There are many posts about the priority service, but I too would like to hear from those who did not use the priority service but submitted an online application for set(o) using the new online service from Nov. 2018 onward.

I attended my appointment on Dec. 12th and was actually told by Sopra Steria that the new process was supposed to much 'faster' and that I should expect a decision in 6-8 weeks. It seems the priority people aren't getting a good service so this doesn't bode especially well for us though I'm not sure UKVI operates with logic.

It would be great to hear from anyone who was told anything about timelines during there non-priority appointment at Sopra Steria, or from anyone who received a decision already on a non-priority application.

Sopra have no clue to be honest as they are ONLY a third party handling agent. Even before Sopra, the NORMAL postal timeline was 6-8 weeks. So nothing has changed except the way you submit documents and enroll biometrics.

Thanks for your reply. Did anyone ever receive their decision within that time frame?

I applied using the standard service on 05.01.19 at Croydon VCAS centre - no acknowledgement or response from UKVI until now. I did check with Sopra and they told me that UKVI has acknowledged the receipt of my application to them (Sopra) but there has been no communication from UKVI to me in form of a letter/email. Not sure what to do except wait for 6-8 weeks to pass (5th week in progress)

Please can someone confirm if you still can access the UKVI account and view the Step 7 “further actions page to book an appointment” even AFTER you have attended the bio appointment and submitted documents at UKVCAS?

OR

has the step 7 page updated after the UKVCAS appointment?

Thanks

I applied for BC on 20-Nov-2018. The appointment with UKVCAS was on 05-Dec-2018.
If I log in the UKVI site, the stage still at "Further actions you must complete" page which is Step-6 (last one) and asks me to book an appointment with UKVCAS.

Hi!

I went to the new centre in Manchester. I did not upload any documents online, but I was able to upload all my documents at the centre. It was relatively quick as they have a double sided scanner for the papers, pictures, etc. I was told that the pictures would only show up as black and white which is a bummer. The guy that helped me scanned all my important documents which was about 1/2 inch thick and (because I had trouble scanning in my fingerprints and QR code that you need to scan in for biometrics) the appointment took 1 hour 20 minutes when they try to average about 20 minutes per appointment. No complaints from anyone and everyone was quite helpful despite me being frustrated things weren't scanning in first time with my prints and QR code but it's all done now. Another positive thing- YOU GET TO KEEP ALL YOUR DOCUMENTS INCLUDING YOUR PASSPORT. They physically take NOTHING and ONLY SCAN your original documents. So it's a relief being able to keep my passport (though I won't be going anywhere until I receive my residency card!)
