Why don't you go ahead and submit your biometrics while you're waiting for your wife's BIL? She can submit after she receives her BIL.

That's what I did. My mother submitted her biometrics today. My father hasn't received a UCI number and BIL yet. We applied on Apr 27, 2023.
Unfortunately in iran there is no place for VFS to do biometrics !!! we have to go overseas, we need that document! its very sad and stressful for me ! im going to lose my biometric date limit !

Hello All,

It appears this is a common issue.

I also applied for a visit visa group application for my parents and grand mother and paid the applicable fees including biometrics.
Less than an hour afterward, I received a biometrics instruction letter for my Mother only. Three weeks later, I am yet to receive same for my father and grandmother. I raised webform but no response yet.

Those who had similar experience and have successfully resolved it, how long did it take for the BIL to arrive for the other applicants?

I had raised a webform yesterday that I havent got the letter yet. Today, I got an update that I need to pay biometrics fees for my FIL. I had already paid the same while submitting the application. I have uploaded screenshot of the receipt which I had paid while submitting the appln on May 3. I think there is a system glitch due to which Bio fees is not getting divided among all the applicants. will keep you posted about the progress. Hope this helps.

It took 4 days for me after raising webform.

if the update about fees was in the tracker, ignore it.

What did you mention in webform? I applied April 18, submitted webform april 28 and got a generic reply may 2 saying we received webform and since then nothing.
