ILR Set O (Skilled Worker, Tier 2 or International Sportsperson dependant)

[hadoka]

Good Morning Everyone,

My Wife & I applied for ILR (Two separate applications so I can apply priority for myself and standard for my spouse) based on the following :

1 - Online Submission: 16/Dec/2024
2 - Biometrics: 23/Dec/2024

Main Sponsor (Husband) Priority
Wife Dependent - Standard

I, the main sponsor, was successful in obtaining ILR, and I received an update on December 28th, 2024, that I was granted ILR.

My wife just received an email update this morning 30th if Jan 2025:

====================================

================================

Based on Experience, my question is, what does this email mean, and on average, how long did it take them to give a final update on the application after that email?

The standard ILR application timeframe is 6 months. That is what that email says. However, most people should get a decision within the 8 week mark
