Non-EEA with Retained Rights of Residence and no ex-ID.
The application was rejected the first time (because of the ex-ID), so I submitted again explaining better on the cover letter. This time has been accepted.

Posted: 04/01
Received: 07/01 (next working day)
Payment taken: 08/01
Biometric letter: 14/01 (dated 10/01)
Biometric submitted: 14/01
Certificate of Application: 19/01 (dated 16/01)
Documents received: 22/02 dated 20/02 (my birthday btw) :D
They tried to deliver BRP card on the 25/02 but I was not home
Letter from DX saying the above mentioned on 28/02 (dated 26/02)
They offered me to deliver next day, but I opted to collect in a collection point the same day.

That's such a relief! Thanks guys for all the help. For those waiting, I sincerely hope the agony isn't long and that you hear back from them really soon.

See you guys in the naturalisation page now. :)
All the best.

Hello everyone, I would like to share my experience. I just received my Permanent residence today.
Application submit- 10th December
Payment taken- 12th December
Biomatric given -3th January
PR granted- 11th January
Got letters and passport back- 14th January
BRP Card received- still waiting.
It’s a bit strange that I got the decision within 1 month.

Very important to mention my retained rights was refused twice last year. So I applied for PR directly.
Best of luck to everyone
