Note from moderator CR001 : You do realise that you have to do your biometric enrollment again. They don't use your previous one. They will send you a letter to enroll them at the Post Office.

Reply from zimchic :No didn't realise I have to do it again , I didn't complete the section for the biometric as I thought I had it done and send this in with my biometric letter, it's so confusing and hope they don't reject my application because of this
