I think he should wait for BRP letter now simple as that

Application: 5th April
Received: 10 April

Documents: Waiting

please update when you guys receive acknowledgement and biometrics.

I have the same situation, applied on 5th April, yet no fee debited. just to clear the doubts that 5 pm deadline DOES NOT apply on those who submitted their application on 5th April by standard post. However, it is only for Courier services and the application must reach HO on 5th April by 5 pm. So ...
