I just received an email saying my ILR set(o) has been granted! Didn't expect a response on a Sunday though but chuffed to bits! Email was very generic and no mention of my name anywhere on the email.

Here's my timeline...

Application submitted and documents uploaded - 19/03/2019
Biometrics enrolled - 29/03/2019

Hi,

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone especially CR001, this site has been a great help.

I applied through super priority for ILR.
Eligibility period calculated from the date of receiving the first VISA/Leave to remain. Although there was a gap of 40 days before entering the UK.

Submitted Biometric on Monday 25th March (11:30 - took 25 min once called in)
Received email of acceptance next day -26th March (9:30)
Received ILR in post on 28th March (11:00)

All the best.
