BRP Card Received: Waiting
I got chatting to a another applicant at the Croydon branch whilst waiting for my biometrics appointment and I bumped into him outside the building after our appointments. He told me his solicitor forgot to upload one of his required documentation! I guess it isn't as important to the solicitor as it would have been to the applicant so just double and triple check yourself before and after submitting, especially since you will be removed from priority / super priority service if HO requests additional documentation?
Thanks to the mods and people from this forum for your advice. Good luck to everyone waiting!

Applied for ILR route: Set(O) Tier 2 skilled worker- 5 year route
Application type : Standard
Date application sent : 5th September 2022
Biometrics Appointment: 5th October 2022
Docs uploaded to UKVACS: before biometrics appointment
Approval Received : 1st December 2022
BRP Received: Waiting
3 month wait for standard service as Tier 2 skilled worker - faster than most I have read on here for standard. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford the priority service so for those in same position this might be helpful information. My application was straightforward with no dependents and NHS shortage occupation.
