Am I eligible to book an appointment according to the above priorities for my wife?

Thank you... Experts please reply

type in her application number that is printed on the BIL, if it doesnt show error, it means u can book, if it does, then means u cant.
I'm a student, when i put in my BIL number it gave me an error as at the moment i cant give biometrics. i will try again till dec 2.
You too keep trying till nov 25th, maybe they'll allow u now, maybe they'll allow u from 25th.
I'm not an expert but this is just what i understood
Good luck!
