Update: Balance dropped today 26/05/15

So most likely will get biometric invitation week beginning 1st June.

I hypothesise that it would take at least one month at the earliest before approvals

So I am not holding my breath for my approval until first week of July.

Just came back from the NCS submitting my application today. I have also requested a change in the name order for my forenames (admin mistake in my original passport), I hope that will not extend my application further!
