The Impact of England's Second Lockdown on UK Visa Applications The impact of England's second lockdown on UK visa applications 11 NOVEMBER 2020 Tracy Evlogidis PARTNER | UK CATEGORY: ARTICLE In reaction to the stark rise in coronavirus cases, England entered into a second national lockdown on 5 November 2020. In contrast with the onset of the pandemic in March of this year, UK Visas & Immigration now have the facilities in place to enable their services to continue running. We have extracted the pertinent information from Home Ofce guidance, and listed below the current status of UK visa application centres (‘VACs’) both in and outside of the UK. In summary, overseas UK VACs will remain open, however this is very much dependent on local country restrictions. In the UK, the Home Ofce is still accepting and processing in-country visa applications. UK Visa and Citizenship Application Services (‘UKVCAS’) Service Points, Service and Support Centres (‘SSCs’), and English Language Test centres are classed as providing an “essential service” and thus remain open, with exceptions. The ‘ne print’ Applications made within the UK: Individuals in the UK with leave that expires after 31 October 2020 are permitted, under current coronavirus concessions, to submit a visa application from within the UK where that visa application would normally require submission from their home country. If switching into a work or study visa category, applicants may be able to start working or studying before a decision is made on their application, if specic criteria are satised. Those applicants who made an appointment to attend a UKVCAS Service Point which remains closed will be contacted when the Service Point re- opens to make a new appointment, and their UK immigration status will not change as a result of being prevented from attending their appointment. Pre-scheduled appointments at UKVCAS Service Points are taking place during lockdown and applicants are able to book new appointments during the lockdown period. The Priority and Super Priority services in the UK remain suspended, meaning all in-country applications are being processed via the standard service, with delays to be expected due to the impact of coronavirus. In an attempt to deal with the demand for biometric appointments caused by the backlog of applications submitted prior to and during lockdown, UKVI has introduced a new system whereby certain eligible applicants who have provided their ngerprints (as part of a previous visa application) will not have to attend an appointment, and will instead be permitted to provide their biometric photograph digitally via email. If eligible, these applicants will be emailed by UKVCAS explaining the required next steps. Application centres outside the UK: Priority and Super Priority visa services have resumed in some overseas application centres. If available, applicants will be able to purchase these services when booking their appointment online. At present, coronavirus concessions allow individuals to apply for a visitor visa from any country, regardless of whether a VAC is open and can process an application in their home country. For all other types of applications, individuals are required to apply from the country they are living in and attend a VAC in that country. If this is not possible due to VACs being closed, an applicant is permitted to travel to another country to submit their application and attend their biometric appointment, provided they have permission to travel to that country. This concession will be reviewed by the Home Ofce at the end of November. Some VACs are only re-booking appointments for existing applicants, while others are taking appointments for new applicants. We always advise checking the latest information for the country where you are submitting your application; on the TLS contact website (for Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East) and the VFS Global website (for all other countries). USA UK visa applicants in the States have the option to book their biometric appointments at either a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (‘USCIS’) Application Support Center (‘ASC’) or a VFS Global Premium Application Centre (‘PAC’). A fee must be paid to book an appointment at a PAC. A phased re-opening of VFS Global PACs and USCIS ASCs began on 13 July 2020, with additional PACs and ASCs re-opening in fortnightly waves (where local conditions allowed). All VFS Global PACs are now open, with USCIS ASCs temporarily closing and re-opening based on local coronavirus conditions. Canada VFS Global re-opened the Canadian VACs on 17 July 2020, and appointments are now available (to both new and existing applicants) on their online portal.

  • Bwf Memorandum
    BWF MEMORANDUM NEW EXPERIMENTAL LAWS ON SCORING SYSTEM 13 April 2016 BWF tested experimental scoring systems in two separate periods from August to October 2014, and from February to April 2015 with this last trial period including the testing of two different setting options. Match data and stakeholder feedback was collected from both testing periods, analyzed, and considered by BWF Council. At its meeting in May 2015, BWF Council agreed to a third period of testing from September 2016 through to 31 December 2017. Analysis from tournaments played to September 2017 will be considered by Council at its meeting in October/November 2017 and further analysis from tournaments played October to December 2017 will be considered in the analysis provided to the AGM in May 2018. A proposal could be presented to the membership at the Annual General Meeting in May 2018. BWF would like to invite all Level 3 BWF Grand Prix, all BWF Level 4, and all international sanctioned junior tournaments taking place between September 2016 and 31 December 2017, to test options for a new scoring system played with “best of five games of 11 points” with one of the following formats for setting: 1. Setting to a maximum of 15 points; or 2. A three-point decider if the score reaches 10-all. There will only be a one-minute break between games. Setting Option 1 – At 10-all, the player/pair wins the game when a two point lead is achieved, or first to 15 when the score reaches 14-all. Setting Option 2 – At 10-all, a 3 points challenge will be played where the first player/pair to score three points wins the game.
