Hello everyone
I have just got my approval letter now.
Date of application : 21/12/2017 Barnet NCS
Date of biometric done: 09/01/2018
Date of approval 21/05/2018 (arrived 04/06/18)

Just want to mention , don't panick and nervous about your application after 3 month. The timeline is 6 month.as you see mine got approved in 5 month.and arrived 5 month and 2weeks.So don't be nervous about the reasons yours is over 3 month.most people get it near 6 months.two of my friends got their approval near 6 months too.
Just be patient and relax.
