Is BVL a mandatory step in the process? I have a valid biometric from last year which is valid till 2029.
No its not mandatory step. If you had received a biometric from last year, this time you will directly recieve a PPR.

I'm pretty sure everybody gets a BVL. It is a letter that is system generated I think once VO has made decision, it is to verify validity of Bio (in event of approval or refusal). I got a BVL last year before a rejection and this year got the same before an approval.
