So today is the cut-off date for this mysterious opt-out. Apart from doing a toss with a coin, any other reasonable basis to choose one over the other?
NOT OPTING OUT -> Pro: Possibly save some money (or, could it be chargeable too?), Save one trip to the centre. Cons: Further/uncertain delays
OPTING OUT: Pro: Possibly get done with bio-metrics within a month time. Cons: Additional costs, and huge regrets if IDV app launches in the mean time
Can anyone please please give some indication of earliest/latest appointments availability in or around London? Is it few days/weeks? Given the appointments are open only for the next one month, is it safe to assume that we will be able to book one at the latest within one month from the date of booking (= 10th August).
Who/How many are opting out today?
