3. Date of expiry of current leave: Nov-2021
4. Number of dependants applying at the same time: 0
5. Date application posted: 04-09-2018
6. Date application received at UKBA: N/A
7. Date payment debited: handled by the lawyer
8. Payment mode: handled by the lawyer

Any idea how long will it take? I was put under the impression that it took 2 days to deliver the documents and another week for the BRP and it looks consistent with those who have got it.
