Will UK visa applicants be accepted on a walk-in basis for biometric appointments at ASC locations once services resume?

Accepted answer

The Internet Archive has a copy of the web page from April 6 that contains the "walk-in" language. However, if VFS Global has removed this text, it may still not be operative, and as you note, there's no guarantee that the ASC locations will honor something that used to be on a website, but there's a copy of it for you one way or another.

According to the most recent update, they are now inviting people who had ASC appointments to visit one of the 10 VFS Premium Application Centres (at no additional charge) starting this week according to the calendar they provide. Since your appointment was for the 15th, it stands to reason that they'll continue the schedule and provide you with a date to visit a VFS facility in the coming weeks if normal service isn't restored, but that may be too late for your purpose.

I suppose you could try walking into the VFS office if you can get to one. If they are sticklers about following the calendar they've laid out there, it looks like you could still opt to pay the not insignificant premium fee and the walk-in fee to get it done.

VFS Global provided an update today with a helpful infographic on when applicants may visit a premium application centre. Presumably they will keep updating the schedule in the above mentioned link until normal operations are restored at USCIS application centers.
