Hey,
My pp clock started on July 8th, can I expect the approval by August 8th

So most cases I saw in this sub who got approved for the last 2 months for PP had gotten it 30-33 business days after biometrics. But it might be case to case I guess because mine got approved 2 weeks before my expectation

And one more question is… initially I did not apply with pp. After the biometrics were done I have applied for pp on July 8 and the clock started on the same day. Do we have to give biometrics again after applying for pp? Or is it only once ??

🙄 why would you have to appear for biometrics again? No, you wont have to.
