I visited the visa centre last Monday (17th Apr) and got an email from the Home office on Wednesday early morning (19th Apr) - It took only 2 days for me.

Applying inside the UK, apart from my passport and endorsement letter. What else do I need to submit?
Also, can I apply alone and then apply for my dependant after I get decision or we have to both switch together… We still have a current visa running so that’s why I’m asking

You can do both. As long as you are ready to pay all the IHS at once.

@Jazeb - did you hear any response from the home office? If yes, can you tell when was that? Thanks!
I received an email 3 weeks after stage 2. And received my brp the same week of receiving the email.

Hi! Upon receiving a visa at what time should I arrive to UK? Is it 30 days or 90 days? I realise I can set a specific date in future but I still need to know what are the options.
Please, is there any office one can go for Biometrics in Manchester? Thank you very much.
90 days for this visa

Please, how long does it take to get IHS refund after switching or do I need to contact /call them?
I have 1½ years left on my previous visa.
Applied on April, 27 outside of the UK and still waiting. I have a dependant that was applying with me.
I’ve paid for ‘priority service’ as well.
Is that common? Could it be a problem with the application and should I reach out to VAC or DMC somehow?
I got an email from the Home Office 8 working days after my biometric information submission in the UK. It was switching from Skilled Worker Visa to Global Talent and it was a standard service.

By the way, BRP was delivered in 2 working days after the email.
For people outside UK and not traveling soon. Is BRP sent to the provided address or we have to go to the POST office to pick up
For those who already went through the overall process. When do you take the biometrics? Just after the online form submission, right? If yes, how long were you offered an appointment on the following day or how many days later?
Thanks!
I heard ihs fees are going up? Anyone know the new fee?
Submitting stage 2 next week, should i hurry up to avoid fee increases? app should be done within a week
