After reviewing various timeline posts recently, it seems that at this point in time (Sept 2021) the average time for a standard Set M to come back from application submission is just over 5.5 months.

Good luck all!

Date Biometrics Enrolled : 25/09/2021 Saturday at 10:30am (Bedford Point Croydon)
Approval/Refusal Received : 28/09/2021 Tuesday at 8:38am. No text message even though I have purchased a £2 SMS service.
BRP Courier Delivery Notification : 30/09/2021 13:00
TNT Out for Delivery Notification : 01/10/2021 09:52am
BRP Card Received : 01/10/2021 14:20

Super priority can take up to 48 hours if biometric is taken on weekend. Mine took just under 33 hours.

The £2 SMS message service is extremely useless in my case. I only received two text messages: an UKVCAS appointment reminder and a confirmation that UKVI have received my information.

Thank you all for sharing your timelines.

I realised on the 26th September I had to apply for ILR and recieve it within 7 days to be able to try to apply for citizenship a year later, due to going on travels 4-5 years prior. It is possible to apply anbd get it done very quickly on super priority!
