I wanna say, thanks a billion to all the awesome people here in this forum. Your help is very much appreciated! Good luck to everyone waiting for a decision.

Just to let people know that I had two SP30s on my driving licence. One from 3 years ago that just expired and one just before I submitted my application this year. And thank God all went well.

Also, what I think helped speed up the decision is that I uploaded my documents straight after I submitted my application which may have given the case worker time to make a provisional decision before I submitted my biometric data 5 days ago!
