Some reading for you.
I didn't receieve any communcation. The issue date is 23rd Nov. So they did actually approve next day just took time to receive through the letter.ilovethebeatles wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 7:40 pmHi Makky,
Congratulations! It would be useful for those intending to pay for super priority service to form a decision time pattern if you could let us know when was the decision made and if there was any communication in between or if you have called UKVI before receiving the BRP?
Thanks so much for your information.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 5:39 pmSome reading for you.

I've applied for ILR via new service. I had the option to use old or new service and opted for new. I live in London. When I submitted my application online, the only service centre open in London was the Premium Service Lounge in central. Appointments here cost £200+. They're not free even if you paid for Super Priority. I was contemplating going to Birmingham as this was the closest free service centre. Called UKVCAS for advice and they told me that Croydon was opening soon and gave me good info. So the helpline is good. It's easy to get through to them and there are compete people who have a clue on the line. I was on hold for about a minute before I got someone on the other end. Flipside though, the cost is a whopping £2.50 a minute. I ended up with an additional £30 pound phone bill from 2 short calls to them.
I submitted my application on 13 Nov. I marked time trying to find a cheaper/London venue until 19 Nov when Croydon appointments became available. Booked the first one available which was 10am Friday 23 Nov.
I uploaded all my documents as per the checklist received during the online application. These went onto the Sopra Steria portal. I paid for the Document Checking service which Sopra Steria sells. This cost £35. They check that your documents are of good enough quality, they're all there and that they are complete (no missing pages). I wouldn't pay for this if I had to do it again. You have a checklist so you know what you're supposed to upload. As for quality and for completeness - checking your scans yourself and using your best judgement (or someone else's) should accomplish these checks. You really don't need to pay Sopra Steria £35 to do that.
The Croydon venue is at Bedford point. Google maps says this location "is now closed" but just ignore that and follow the location on your phone as it's actually correct. I arrived at 9:45, was checked in and taking my biometrics by 9:50 and was seated with one of their clerks by 9:55. I was the first one at the centre so got done quite quickly. The clerk was quite happy I'd used the document checking service - meaning he didn't have to do it. So your £35 is saving Sopra work as well as paying them because they would ordinarily do it then.
My application was submitted by 10:15 when I left the centre. I got my BRP through the post on 28 Nov. You do not get any confirmation that UKVI is considering your application or any feedback/notifications. My first communication was the BRP in the post on the 28th. So use my timeline and keep calm.
Hope this is useful. Good luck all.

Its been 4 days still haven't heard anything. Called UKVI this morning at 9:30am, they said we must leave upto 5 working days to get response. If i don't hear anything by today then they asked me to give a call tomorrow. Contacted DX no parcel arranged for me. Just hoping for the best.

Members have reported numerous times that it is 24 business hours not literal 24 hours.brrip wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:28 pmDid my biometrics yesterday morning, have not heard anything. I tried calling the number in this thread, no luck - they just said they don't have access to the system. I politely asked if they could take down my case number and notify the case worker - they refused.
Tried on both the option 3 (ongoing applications) and 4 (for settlement in the UK) on the phone menu.
They told me to email the ApplyOnlineE-support e-mail address to ask about the outcome, and just kept insisting that they should have let me know within 24 hours.
I asked if it is normal for it to be over 24 hours to a decision, and they just said well that's just a target they try to keep to, there is no guarantee.
I am aware, I was more reporting my experience with the helplines because other members seem to have had success in getting the helpline staff to nudge the case workers directly.CR001 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:34 pmMembers have reported numerous times that it is 24 business hours not literal 24 hours.brrip wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:28 pmDid my biometrics yesterday morning, have not heard anything.
