I''m an Australian living in the UK since 2009, have had two sequential Ancestry Visas, nine years here in total. Now applying for ILR via postal route. It would be handy to know average processing times at the moment for this route from others who've already done it? :-)

FINALLY GOT THERE GUYS, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON THIS FORUM. For those waiting -- the wait is far worse than anything else. Try not to stress, it feels like it takes forever, but you'll get there.
