No, my case was different. That time there was no idv app and when I submitted there was a huge backlog and I was in queue to get a biometric appointment.
My slot to book an appointment was opened in Mid July.
Now the situation is much better.
I thinking about applying for the stage 2 (my endorsement was a fast track route under UKRI) and I am bit concerned about the times it would take since I would not be able to travel while having an application pending.
Would being eligible for the biometrics reused would accelerate the process? What are the factors that can speed up the process?
My “personal view” based on trends is to go for biometric appointment.
Standard wait time is 8 weeks but UKVI is doing their best as I have seen maximum decisions coming out well before the standard time
Yes I see what you mean.
As far as I understood, the 8 weeks start counting from the day of submitting the biometrics. The question is, how long would it take to get my biometrics sent?!!!
Not sure what you mean by “how long would it take to get my biometrics sent?!!!”
Are you waiting after submitting stage2 to get a reuse email or appointment booking email from UKVCAS?
