Do I need biometric enrolment if I have done it before?

I have done biometric enrollment in Sheffield about 2 years ago when I applied for spouse visa. Now I have submitted my SET(M) application with my residence permit card, will UKBA ask me to enroll biometric information again?
If the answer is Yes, how long am I expected to wait for the biometric invitation letter? It's 9 weeks since I submitted my application and I haven't received the letter yet.

Yes, you will have to enroll your biometric information again. The time it takes for the invitation letter to be issued will depend on current waiting times, others who have applied under SET(M) recently may be able to share their experience.

Thanks cs95tdg.
Just let everyone know, I called UKBA this morning to inquire why I haven't received my biometric invitation letter 9 weeks after submitting my SET (M) application. They told me that it's because it hasn't been assigned to a case worker yet. From the answer seems currently there is a long wait for SET (M), From previous posts I've never seen anyone has been waiting for 9 weeks for their biometric invitation.
My timeline:
Date SET (M) application submitted: 28th May 2012
Date acknowledgement received: 1st June 2012
Biometric invitation letter: WAITING...
