Question about biometrics. My country was exempt of this requirement until dec 31 2018. Does this mean they will ask for this before PR? Decision was made on ECAs already but i have not received passport request letter.

Abuse of process is the only way I can label this. Is London office responding to inquiries in a meaningful way or just generic responses?

Historically (2016 results) it shows that London takes 10-12 months from the time they receive an application to PPR. The most incompetent embassy probably.

If an application was filed BEFORE Dec 31, 2018 then no Biometrics is needed. If any application was received after Dec 31, 2018 then Biometrics are needed. So, all the old applications are not affected by current/new biometric requirements.
