Biometric enrolment mystery!!!

[Nefertiiti]

Hello again everyone!!!

I would like to know how long it takes after enrolling my biometric information to getting the decision.

Secondly, does the fact that I am being asked to enrol my biometric info give any indication that my application has been approved? I guess what I'm trying to ask is if I there are any issues with my application would I have been told by now BEFORE being asked to enrol my bio details?

I am trying to decipher the inner workings of the HO, lol.


Anyone with some insight should please help me out.

Everyone submits biometics regardless of the eventual outcome.
