Just adding BRP expiry date 31/08/2020 as I think it may be one criteria for ukvcas prioritising invites. Although decision can still take a while. Fingers crossed.

Shocked that approval came through only 3 days after both docs and biometrics jointly were submitted. We were advised by a solicitor but all accounts were in our email rather than theirs.
