I would like to thank everyone who helped on this forum, specially CULLIAN and CR001.

Note: There were no London biometric appointments available for the next 28 days, so I checked some postcodes in other cities to see their availability, I was lucky to find an appointment in Bath in a weeks time and I got it. I believe this helped to speed up the process.
Wish everyone good luck, and happy holidays!

To anyone waiting for BRP delivery from TNT. Apparently their drivers are only allowed to drive a certain amount of hours in a day and once they hit that limit they return to the depot. Unfortunately they only have a standard text message “we tried to deliver and you weren’t home” even if they didn’t come to your house. So don’t panic if you get that message.

Looks like Set (M) processing is slower than other SET/ILR types.

Looking at this timeline thread and on other forums, SET(M) processing time is a lot more than other ILR applications

I can genuinely say I was not expecting anything to happen this week. Didn't even check my e-mails. Took longer than some but still quicker than others. The waiting is not easy. Praying that those who are still waiting get a positive response soon.
