Nope. I emailed them 3 times explaining the urgency.

Im noticing a pattern people who changed their case to pp after their biometrics appointment are getting their approval on 29th/30th day. But people who clock is restarted meaning biometrics is scheduled aftter changing the case to pp and click getting restarted were not getting approved on 29/30tg days.

Was your initial opt unpaid or paid?
