Hi good people, I did my application for flr fp online application on 22/05/2020 ..my question is how do I send my documents to HO because it doesn't show or give guide line ? And all the Biometrics capture areas are closed because of covid19. Thanks
Responding to Kam20 - sorry new to this
I applied (first application FLR FP overstayer British child and partner) on 26/05/2020 and received an email on 06/06/2020 asking me to Scan/take a photo of my docs and email them to an SSC-FHRU home office email address. They also offered me to send my documents by post if I was unable to email. They also asked for me to post my passport to them. So I think you should wait to be contacted that’s if you haven’t been contacted since.
Please let me know how you got on cos I’m still waiting too for possible biometrics and approval by God’s grace. Good luck x
....hi since 22/05/2020 I have only received 1 email from HO saying that they are going to reuse my biometrics n that they will send me a link for an app where I will download my documents and take my picture...still waiting.

Hi,

I finally received a letter on 18/08/20 asking me to book an appointment for biometrics which I booked over the phone and attended on 20/08/20.
I am just waiting for their decision now.

Hi everyone,I submitted online application and paid the fees 10 days ago. But On the page it said the appointment unavailable to book. Does anyone know how and where I can upload/submit my documents? Shall I wait for their emails and how long it will take to receive the email? Thanks.

If you took the time to read the forum topics and the UKCVAS updates, you will see that there are delays and they are doing biometrics in phases.

https://www.ukvcas.co.uk/flash-message- ... geId=74833
Registered with UKVCAS in August?
If UKVCAS received your application on or after 15 August 2020, you won’t be able to book an appointment at the moment. This is because UKVI are assessing which customers are eligible for biometric reuse and the IDV app.

For those of you who applied between 1 – 14 August 2020, we will be sending you an email to outline next steps. This will let you know if you are eligible to use the IDV app or whether you need to book a UKVCAS appointment.

Watch out for an email called; ‘UKVCAS - book an appointment now’ by 27 August 2020

If you are eligible for the IDV app, the email will be called; ‘Introducing the UKVCAS IDV app’ and will have instructions for next steps and will arrive by 30 August 2020.

For customers who applied from 15 August 2020, we will be in touch as soon as possible after UKVI update us about your application.

Hi, everyone. Please, anyone has email address for flp (fp) team?

I applied for my second flr(fp) renewal on Febuary 31st Jan 2020 and did my biometrics finger print on the 3rd of Febuary 2020. I also paid for document scanning & uploading services at Croydon office and the gentleman who did the uploading of documents told me everything has been uploaded to homeoffice. I have been waiting for 7 months now without no decision or any form of contact from homeoffce. Do anyone here know of the email address to contact them? I have searched online but could't find anything.

My timeline is as follows:

Application update
Flr fp 10 year private life route
Extension (2nd renewal)
Application submitted online on: 31 Jan 2020 (Online application)
Biometrics done at Croydon: 3rd of Febuary 2020
Called homeoffice on: 20th July 2020 (The Lady said is not yet upto six months)

I am really getting worried now 'cause i can see people in this forum who applied long after i did, already granted .

Thanks!

hi, if you did the application yourself online then Home office will have email you the website that you can upload all your document by your self.

Hi,
I feel your pain. The wait is long. Did you go to a service support centre for your biometrics? Did your invite for biometrics say that they are about to make a decision?
I applied in May and just did my biometrics a week ago and I’m now waiting too. My biometric letter said that the SSC is closed due to Covid but they need my biometric to make a decision and if I miss my appointment I’ll have to wait till they are fully open before I get a decision.

Hello everyone,

Help needed with FLR(FP) based on 7 years route.
My family and I got our fee waiver last Monday and we filled and submitted our FLR(FP) based on child on 7 years route online. We have booked a date for biometrics and presenting documents for next week.

I need help knowing all documents needed.
1. Parent are overstayed, one has an expired passport and the other has their passport with the home office.
- Will that be a problem?

2. For the 9years old child on which basis we are applying what documents of his needs providing?

3. What other documents will help with the application.

Our 2 kids were born and spent all their lives here.
Hi,

Where you granted your leave to remain? Many thanks

Hi,
Home office do say 6-8weeks but because home office is not fully opened cos of the covid19. They said we have to wait for 6months. Such a long wait.
