I've really appreciated this thread and have registered in order to add this piece of information to such a valuable public service! I waited over 4 months from the date of biometrics submission, so hope things are speedier for others!

Acknowledgement letter/email received (if applicable) : 13/10/2021

Many thanks to all the people who shared their timelines. I am currently still waiting for the result of my application, but I thought I can put together the ‘past one year data (decision email received 02/02/2021-2022, standard route)’ posted here in this forum and provide some figures to those who are still waiting or intended to apply -

Total average waiting time since online application: 125 days (SD.15.34 / max. 186 days / min. 94 days)
Total average waiting time since biometrics appointment: 101.5 days (SD. 18.96 / max. 113 days / min. 49 days)


And due to the Christmas holiday, application with biometrics submitted before the year end seem to have a longer waiting time. Here are some numbers for the waiting period that contains the winter holiday -

Winter average waiting days since online application: 134.2 days (SD.11.5 / max. 175 days / min. 115 days)
Winter average waiting time since biometrics appointment: 112 days (SD. 15.72 / max. 162 days / min. 76 days)


I also looked at the data by month. Since everyone takes different time periods between their online application and biometrics appointment, here the data is based on the time when people attended their biometrics appointment in that month –

Average waiting time:
January – 89.76 days
February – 80.48 days
March – 85.53 days
April – 85.86 days
May – 94.88 days
June – 108.7 days
July – 102 days
August – 96.83 days
September – 110.9 days
October – 125.3 days
November – 108.4 days
December – 100.1 days


Bear in mind that there were several different scale national lockdowns in winter 2020-2021, not sure how this will affect the processing time or how much the numbers I presented here reflect our current timeline. But I hope these numbers can help people feel less anxious and have more idea of how long the process takes.

Hi everyone, please find below my timelines for ILR LR. I applied through normal service.

Date of online application: 08/10/2021
Date of biometric application : 15/10/2021
Complex Letter: No
Approval Email: 05/03/2021
BRP: Not received yet

I was getting bit desperate as for the reason it took long time but this forum really helped me to be patient. It took close to 5 months from the online application date. Hope everyone gets their ILR soon. Thanks.
