My application has been approved . received the BRP and all my documents. Would like to share the good news and thanks for everyone who helped me in this forum.
15 Aug 2018, documents submission. fees charged on the second day after
5 Sept 2018, biometric information collected
wait....wait...wait...
29th Nov 2018, documents returned with approval confirmation
4th Dec 2018, BRP delivered.
total process time: almost 4 months
worried for my short overstay, even though it's within the 28 days permit. it turns out to be fine. guess it does not delay my case a lot either. One of my friend also applied ILR via 10 years rout without any overstay, it still takes hime more than 3 months to get it.
can not get a premium appointment due to the continuous mid-night crash . so if you opted for post application around summer/autumn 2018. my 4 months processing time can be your reference.
Thanks! Good luck to all!
