HO published online SET(O) online application in error during January 2018. I registered my account as I was due to apply for ILR on 12/02/2018. On 29th January they sent an email explaining that online service was published in error and those who registered before that date can proceed their applications and submit before 19/02/2018. So I applied through the online service because payment process, biometrics, and online application were easy to complete on the same date. That online service was saying that HO will let me know about the outcome of my application within 28 working days. I am waiting since then and haven't heard anything except 2 automatic email reminders. Here is the timeline of my application:


applied for ILR Route : Set(O) postal 5 year Tier 2 General (worked for 2 different employers) & no dependent
Date application sent : posted on 16/02/2018
Document received by HO : 19/02/2018
Ack email received (if applicable) : None
Email reminders: 16/3/2018, 16/4/2018
Biometric Letter received : 16/02/2018
Date Biometrics Enrolled : 16/02/2018
Payment Debited : 16/02/2018

I''m an Australian living in the UK since 2009, have had two sequential Ancestry Visas, nine years here in total. Now applying for ILR via postal route. It would be handy to know average processing times at the moment for this route from others who've already done it? :-)
