Hello, I am an EE PR applicant, I got my BIL on May 2020 waited for almost 8 months. I did my biometrics in Dubai on January 10th 2021. The biometrics process just takes 5 minutes, we only need to show passport, BIL and the Dubai vfs appointment letter. We need to have covid negative rt pcr test taken within 96 hrs before departure, another test will be taken at Dubai airport. We have to wait in our accommodation until we get the result. You should provide a uae number for getting the result. The result will be available within 24 hrs. I got my result within 12 hrs. They will send the result on uae number as SMS. After getting the results you can go out. Anyway try to secure a slot on February cz there are no slots available on January. Wait for the update this month. If vac here are still not planning to provide biometrics to EE applicants in February, then you can try doing it in Dubai.
