Naturalization Biometric enrollment at UKVCAS

Dear Sir/Madam,

i have made an application for naturalization online and after payment it has directed me to UKVCAS website to upload documents (which i did partly as i am waiting for referees declarations) and book appointments for bio-metric enrollment
there are no appointments available at any of the UKVCAS centres it was advised that i have to enroll bio metrics before 14 august or the application will be declined can some one please advise me where do i stand.

I have also emailed Home office asking if i could use post office to enroll biometrics but they have not answered my question but rather said they have received the application.

can someone please advise

Due to the current situation UKVCAS are only just starting dealing with appointments made before the lockdown. Keep watching the UKVCAS website for updates when new appointments are available. Applicants will not be penalised for these delays. Note that Post Office biometrics service is no longer available.

Many thanks for your support and prompt response
Much appreciated
