Wishing that I'd thought to look at booking a biometrics appointment now that I see how quickly decisions are being made following in person appointments! Didn't even think twice, went straight onto the app when the invitation email came through. Good luck everyone.

• 08/04/2020: email from HO: “Although we would normally decide your application within 24 hours of your biometric details being uploaded onto our systems, we regret this is not going to be possible in your case.”
• 08/06/2020: First escalation (an automatic reply received).
• 29/07/2020: Second escalation (no response from their side).
• 10/08/2020: Third escalation (no resposne their side).
• 17/08/2020: I called MP and asked him to kindly follow-up the case on my behalf as I had not any other idea. He informed me that he contacted the HO and asked them to urgently consider the case.
• 21/08/2020: email from HO: “The appropriate team has been notified regarding your request. UKVI hope to action your request as soon as possible.”

If BRP has IDV app selfie then this was an approval which was on the way anyways. If the BRP has my biometric appointment photo then this was a pre checked application awaiting biometrics.

Good luck everyone !

I never received an email regarding being eligible to re-use biometrics. The email I received was directly an invitation to use IDV/book an appointment. Luckily there were a few appointments available the next day itself (£135) so I booked and enrolled biometrics the next day.

Many thanks to the mods and regular contributors who spend hours a day, week after week, year after year keeping order and giving level-headed guidance. Not only do we owe you a great deal of gratitude, so probably does the British economy as well

See you back here in 2021, same time, same place, for naturalisation.

I did submit my biometrics via the IDV app and also booked an appointment at the UKVCAS office as I could see that others were getting faster with that route. Happy to have received the decision so quickly and I wish everyone else receives their decision quickly as well!
