tbh i think it has nothing to do with dates and maybe maybe it is through alphatbet of names or email. as if its by the date of application .. all may would finish first and then they start june or july ...

Anyone that has not received an invite and within the timeframe of those that have received an invite to submit bio using the IDV should try logging in and see if they are able to submit their bio.
I have seen people on here try that and succeed so it could continue to work.
This is new app so there is bound to be some minor glitches.
Just my suggestion.

Did you try to log in the app and see if it works? Did you check your junk folder?

april 1 applicant here.. but ILR route.
still waiting for the IDV invite. i escalated this to the "home office coronavirus immigration team" but they sent me a generic email about corona virus causing this delay and the commercial partners will contact me to arrange appointment.

Has anyone who submitted their biometrics via the IDV app received a decision yet?

Applied in early April, did biometrics about a week ago via IDV - still waiting to hear on the outcome of the application. Our friends of this forum when did biometric via UKVCAS centres received their decision within 10 days (after biometrics) on average. So, lets see hopefully next week we should see decisions coming out for us as well who submitted their biometrics via IDV.

In my personal opinion, now the decisions maybe a little delayed given the number of applicants invited for biometrics recently.

I believe timeline for decisions have nothing to do with providing biometrics via UKVCAS or IDV.

Previously who submitted biometrics via UKVCAS were a small group as majority were selected for IDV reuse.

Now, the overall applicants providing biometrics have gone up at fast pace, be it be via UKVCAS or IDV.
