My general experience of the whole application process was quite positive, except of course the eye watering cost of it all. The online application was easy to fill. The Sopra Steria appointment charges were a bit of a surprise. The automatic biometric system at the Birmingham center was not working but the staff were very friendly and helpful and took my biometrics manually. The whole process at the center took about 20 minutes and I was free to leave and later same day, I received an email with a decision.

Happy and relieved now that this is over which I hoped to do for more than 9 years ago .

Few points to mention:
1) Looks like Right to work website doesn't work anymore to check your status, few minutes before i got the email the website displayed this
'We can't show your record
You will need to prove your right to work by showing an employer your identity document – your EU passport or national identity card, or biometric residence document.'.

2) Email of approval comes from a new email(home.office.atlas at notifications.service.gov.uk) and the format is different, Looks more like a Letter that is sent to home address.

Dear xxxxxxxx

Ref: xxxxxxx(your application number)

Your application for indefinite leave to remain in the UK has been successful.
What happens next
You will receive your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) by courier within 7 working days. It is your BRP, not this letter, that is the official document that grants you status.


Happy to answer any questions.. Thrilled with having a settled status
