Thanks. Indeed it was. My ILR took 6 months even though it was a simple case. (Could not get an appointment for the same day service). Hence, I was expecting it to take another 6 months. But I am surprised.

I see you applied a day earlier than me, so expect to jump up and down in happiness soon.

Cheers

Anyway they obviously wouldn't indicate which way the decision went...so I know I will just carry on waiting for the elusive brown envelope in the post every day. I am hoping Saturday but who knows???????????
