Wow got it a bit quicker than expected! Now waiting for biometric card to arrive.


Type of application: SET(M)
Type of previous residency: 2 year marriage visa (under the old rules)
Date Applied: 10/10/2012
Biometrics done: 30/11/12
Date of approval letter: 31/01/13
Recieved the letter: 02/02/13

Looking at the other timelines, it seems to be taking about 2.5 months-3 months after the biometrics were done. So most of us maybe have a month or so more to wait... Of course I am just guessing here and might be wrong.

Here is mine:
