It looks like Home Office takes their time and uses all of the 6 month period required. So I'll be lucky to get mine by next Easter (01/04/2018), otherwise I may have to wait till mid-April 2018. Fingers-crossed!

UPDATE! UPDATE!! UPDATE!!!

It's great news! (belated Christmas present I guess). Application successful!! All thanks the God!!!

Total processing around 3 months, excluding 3 extra weeks of faffing around trying to get it delivered. Timeline doesn't seem to have been affected by passport return request early in the process. Key hiccup in process was that passport return took 7 weeks!

Decision made: 24/08/17
Resident Card Received on: nope
