I submitted old biometric which I did during study visa application in 2018, and I didn't pay biometric fees in my PR application so they took time to evaluate my old biometric and passed at the same day when my background check status changed from (not applicable to we are processing your application).Congrats. May I ask you why your biometric passed so late? We have a similar timeline, and biometrics is still in process. We did biometric for our temporary visa application.
