@Benjamin_Trotter Thanks for the information. However, it seems likely that you paid through the DUC (as opposed to at the biometric appointment, which only started in 2025). It would be helpful it you added your information to the Stage 4 thread under the traditional system (Awaiting Final Approval (Stage 4)).
The effort here is to follow those who paid at the biometric appointment starting in 2025. We are trying to determine if there is any difference in processing speed (or getting cards) as a result of paying at the appointment. Thanks!
