Hey folks, can people here advise how long it took from the date of application to the date they receive instruction to do their biometric enrolment? I have submitted my application and would like to travel soon but am waiting for the biometric instruction (since it only has a 2 weeks window which I can't miss).

Oops sorry folks, just found out that biometrics are only required from April onwards so not relevant here.
