4 months, 4 days from when I first applied / 3 months, 8 days from my biometrics / 10 years, 3 months, 21 days since I set foot in the UK. I wish I had known about the 12-2am priority service when I first applied. In any case, thanks to this forum for keeping me sane through the long wait.

Finally, received it after almost a month of excruciating wait since the complex letter. I am assuming that had my application included the scans I might have received the approval letter exactly at 3 months instead of the complex letter as the general timeline trend seems to be three months since biometrics. Thanks to the forum and good luck to all who are waiting!

Date application submitted: 24/08/2021 (Super Priority submitted online at exactly 01:00h) - failed attempt at 01:01h on 23/08/2021 as no super priority appointments available
Document uploaded through UKCVAS: 27/09/2021
Date of UKCVAS Appointment (if applicable) : 28/09/2021 (Saturday)
Approval/Refusal Received: 31/08/2021 via Livset decision service (first working day following application submission due to BH Monday)
BRP Card Received: 16/09/2021 (initial delivery on 03/09/2021 however issues as below)

The approval for ILR came through within 1 working day, however there was a significant delay in obtaining my BRP. It turns out, UKVI did not pass on my contact details to TNT, therefore no email received with a tracking number or when to expect delivery. Tracking number only obtained on 13/09/21 after submitted a form for missing BRP to UKVI the previous week. Turns out, a delivery had been attempted on 03/09/2021 but no missed delivery note was left, and I had no email with tracking details. BRP only received on 16/09/2021 due to problems with a shortage of delivery drivers.

I appreciate that most get their BRP on time, however if you have not had any emails about your BRP and it hasn't been delivered within 10 working days, visit the BRP page on the UKVI website to fill out a form that allows you to flag it.
