Hello everyone, I would like to share my experience. I just received my Permanent residence today.
Application submit- 10th December
Payment taken- 12th December
Biomatric given -3th January
PR granted- 11th January
Got letters and passport back- 14th January
BRP Card received- still waiting.
It’s a bit strange that I got the decision within 1 month.

Very important to mention my retained rights was refused twice last year. So I applied for PR directly.
Best of luck to everyone
