Hi everyone,
This thread was very helpful in my process! Posting dates to help others.
For the following dates, I did pay for and attend a Super Priority appointment. No decision was made on any of the standard timelines. I am now chasing a refund.
I did escalate twice - at 5 working days after the initial appoinment and again 5 working days after that escalation!
Visa type: Set(0) - From Ancestry to ILR
Application Online: 19-Mar-19
Bio-metric Appointment at Croyden: 21-Mar-19
Contacted MP: 11-Apr-19
MP emailed UKVI: Awaiting confirmation (no contact from MP)
Decision Letter from Home Office: 13-Apr-19
BRP Card Delivered: 15-Apr-19
Good luck guys!
