So my wife applied on 25 May and submitted her Biometric through the app on 27 August. So far , no news! I thought about a dual submission but we didn't go for it.

My wife’s and family experience: They dealt with three locations: Belfast, Peterborough and Newport.
Peterborough was the slowest.

Thanks Cullinan. That is really useful to know.

The Email instruction which I have received after each Application asked me to send to specific address. I called the ‭0300 222 0000‬ before sending the application and I have been told...
