Sorry, I am not clear what you meant by "check in UKVI application that I am required to do an appointment"?
If you go back to the visa application on the home office website it will say you need to book a bio-metrics appointment by a certain date and that takes you to the ukvcas website.
Since there is no way of knowing if the bio-metrics using the app is actually received by UKVI.
Hi,
The UKVI application says "enroll biometrics by 2 Sep 2020".
However, it is not live/updated information, i.e. there is no javascript running at the client side, pulling information from UKVI/UKVCAS servers to dynamically update the text to say that the biometrics are received etc.
If you view the source code of the html page, you can clearly see that, it is a mere static calculation adding 'X' days to the date of submission, and displaying that information inside a green-colored textbox.
In my case, I submitted online application on July 01. So it added 31 days excluding date of submission. This is just their pre-covid era standard, and UKVI themselves have replied to me confirming that I can ignore it. The 'Access UK' online form created by UKVI's IT contractors doesn't have special provisions for unexpected exigencies like pandemics or earthquakes or WW3.....It's just merely a static text displaying a standard deadline.
Check for yourself. It should be 33 days + date of your online application.
