SWV approval timeline (delayed)
Hi all, posted a couple days ago about my delayed decision: https://www.reddit.com/r/SkilledWorkerVisaUK/s/4ZZBnLhLoK
Just got my decision that my visa application is approved today. I logged on to generate a share code and I notice the photo on my eVisa hasn’t updated to the new photo that was taken at my biometrics appointment. Just letting you know because some people noticed their photos updated before they got the confirmation, but that didn’t seem to happen for mine. Details below.
Application date: 27 Aug Biometrics in-person date: 30 Aug Timeframe: 8 weeks 3 days Other info: It was an in-person extension for 2 years. My previous SWV was 3 years. Same job, although the SOC code updated since that change in 2024 (materially still the same).
