It does not look like HO follows any logic while assigning case workers. Their queuing system is obviously broken and flawed. I applied early October and already seeing mid October and later cases being approved whilst no news on mine. So trying to make sense out of broken HO system is just going to be a waste of time

There is no queueing system - applications are not processed in order of receipt, and there's still a backlog of applications going back to beginning of the year. It does look like standard processing time (and even that varies from application to application) for applications submitted in the last few months has come down significantly compared to applications submitted in May-July. HO's published service standard for straightforward applications is 6 months but even that depends on other factors and is not guaranteed.
