If the applicant is a no-show the first time they should receive a second 'warning' letter;
this letter gives a further period of 10 working days (from date of 2nd letter) in which to enrol the biometrics.
Failing that the application will fail.
As mentioned above, for such a critical step in someone's life, it's probably worth revisiting travels plans or deferring the application.

If a person who is eligible to enrol their biometric information at a Post Office does not attend a Post Office within 15 working days of the date of their biometric information notification letter, you must send them a ‘biometric appointment warning letter’ this is reference ICD4523 on document generator on CID.

Whether 10 days, 15 or 17 days, the conclusion is clear; take it seriously & don't miss that window of opportunity.
