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.

Good luck everyone waiting. Timeline for my partner above. Anyone waiting for urgent decision in this uncertain covid times I strongly recommend going for in-person appointment even though you have given IDP app submisson. We got the decision in two working days after in-person Biometric submission.
