Hello everyone! It's me again, back because I'm anxious because I still haven't received any communication about doing my biometrics.
Summary of timeline:
Receipt of the application making it to Durham, 20 August
1 September (I think) received a letter dated 30 August, communicating that my application had been received and barring circumstances 'out of their control' my application would be decided within 8 weeks of them receiving it.
I've had no other communication or correspondence.
