The general understanding has been that biometrics via IDV have been slow to reach UKVI. In some cases, applicants have found out UKVI haven't received biometrics info weeks after IDV submission.

1. Set (O) - Tier 2 G to ILR
2. Date of payment and document submission: 18 Sept 2020
3. Date of IDV app biometric submission: 23 Sept 2020
My case is simple with only complictaion being that I travelled extensively during the 5 year period with 450 days of total travel but with NO absence of more than 180 days in any continuous 12 month period. Letter from employer on leave of absence has been submitted with all details
Please advice on below:
1. Should I apply for a dual biometric appointment - free appointments are available in November 2nd week
2. Since my IDV app biometrics submission happened on the same day that they withdrew the app and went back to physical appointments, can I write to UKVI to ask if they have received my biometrics? Can someone please provide me any email I can send my query to?
3. Will my travel history cause delays?
I've received no delay letter or communication from UKVI and since I have to travel in Dec 2020 for personal reasons am getting worried. Any help would be appreciated
SET (M) is very slow, 22nd Sept is very recent, I am at 4 months and still haven't heard, hopefully you can hear back sooner than me. SET (O) has been quicker than SET (M) yes.Jsinn wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 9:41 amHi All,
I have applied for SET(M) 11 Sep, i have given Bio on 22 Sep. Since then I have no update. While looking at the timeline forum i noticed SET(O) getting very quick decision compared the SET(M). Is that correct observation?
I have no rush for Visa just checking incase others have noticed the same thing.
Thanks
This is normal we have some people waiting since April-July still waiting on decision to be made I for one i am a May applicant hopefully a decision will be made for you in due course.Jsinn wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 9:41 amHi All,

You meant October I guess in your post, congrats on your decision, yes UKVI have started looking at double submissions, would've helped if there was clarity in the beginning, they can deny as much as they want on UKVCAS flash message but the truth is, IDV app data wasn't being transferred to UKVI and double submissions were working because the data was going straight to UKVI.Rimz wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:47 amHi
I have been a silent reader here. I applied for FLRM on 2nd April. Submitted documents through IDV app on 28th of August and then started waiting for the decision. In the second week of october I found that for a majority double submission has reslly worked so on 13th of November I booked my biometric appointment for 15th of November. I was happy to pay 136£ and was happy to travel from London to Sunderland. All I needed was a quick decision.
But can you belive I received my FLRM decision via email on 14th of November at 2:30 PM. Thank God I didn't start my journey to Sunderland. We had to leave after 3 hours but I received my decision. Then I cancelled my sunderland appointment and amount was not refunable. But still happy that I received my decision. On the same day 14th November, at night when i checked this forum I found that UKVI has caught the issue of double submission.
I haven't received any further email for tracking of biometric card.
Is there anyone here who received his/her biometric card without tracking email from UKIV? I have to travel so want it ASAP. 2 working days has been passed. Still waiting anxiously. What's an average wait for receiving biometric card??
Any help.

Hi Cullinan, a bit more help needed, please. UKVCAS update says Coventry SP will reopen tomorrow. I am booked for Sunderland for Saturday. Would you know if one is able to rebook immediately after cancelling their existing booking? Its a bit strange that one is locked out of the booking system and the only way to check appointments is to cancel your already secure booking
Yes don't worry, should hopefully be on its way to you soon. We were FLR M too, decision received 17 sept and BRP posted through the letterbox without any tracking email or signature on 22nd Sep. So I hope yours will be with you by early to mid this coming week. Good luck!
You need to understand what happens when you submit data through IDV App - read this post to get information - indefinite-leave-to-remain/suspension-o ... l#p1946850they can deny as much as they want on UKVCAS flash message but the truth is, IDV app data wasn't being transferred to UKVI and double submissions were working because the data was going straight to UKVI
Yup I did read it when it first was published, too bad info like that wasn’t communicated properly by UKVCAS/UKVI before the app was released. I did IDV 28th Aug and in person on 15th Sept.jameswilliamson6544 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 6:20 pmYou need to understand what happens when you submit data through IDV App - read this post to get information - indefinite-leave-to-remain/suspension-o ... l#p1946850they can deny as much as they want on UKVCAS flash message but the truth is, IDV app data wasn't being transferred to UKVI and double submissions were working because the data was going straight to UKVI
The queue for moving biometrics from old application to current application is 3-8 weeks long, this was never communicated to the applicants who were deemed eligible for biometric reuse.
If someone has already waited 8 weeks since IDV App selfie submission - then in-person appointment will do NO benefit - as written by UKVCAS message.
However, if you have waited less than 8 weeks since IDV App selfie submission - then in-person appointment is the way forward. Try your luck, maybe the appointment won't be cancelled and you will be able to submit biometrics which goes directly to current case file.
Hi,
