Thank you for your email of 07 February 2024, please accept our apologies for the delay in replying.

We are sorry for the delay in dealing with these applications which have been caused by an IT issue. We have reported the issue, will ensure it is resolved as soon as possible and will expedite completion of your application when it is resolved. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a specific time scale for completion at this time.

Hit the dreading “IT issue” , in for a long long wait

Update - email from national biometrics received today 11/04/2024 to say IT issue loss of biometrics has been resolved and now wait another 6 months as per guidelines
