Had a longer wait than most people! I think it's useful to give other T2G SET(O) applicants what the tail end of the wait is!

Date application sent: 31/07/2020
Payment debited: 31/07/2020
Opt-out of IDV app: 09/08/2020
In-person biometric enrollment at UKVCAS center: 19/08/2020 £110 Lansdowne Road, Croydon. Documents submitted at appointment.
Decision letter received: 22/09/2020 10.07am by email (Home Office Atlas)
BRP card received: Waiting

Decision finally arrived today - it was an anxious wait I have to say! No idea why this took longer (around 1 month after biometrics) than many others. Worth noting that I contacted my local MP about this (as MPs have a separate, direct route into HO to enquire about constituents' applications) on 15 September, who passed on my enquiry to the Home Office the next day. I have no way of knowing if this had any impact!

Good luck everyone - this forum has been a brilliant source of information for many years to me.
