Thanks to God Almighty, received the approval today. My partner also received the approval yesterday with an application submitted on 16 June 2020 and biometrics enrolled in an appointment around a week ago.

Also worth noting that I did like some of you here and sent an email to nationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk around 9 days ago asking about the status of my application.

Good luck to everyone waiting, it's such a relief!
