Please if anybody noticed they are opening biometrics appointment slots, please come and tell us here although we check the UKVCAS website regularly.

Perhaps read the responses you received last year when you asked similar questions. The advice has not changed. https://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/tier...
