			I have been following the forum and have applied for my ILR set (O) on 31 July with dependents but haven’t received the decision yet. Below is the timeline:
Applicants: Tier 2 general applicant with 4 dependents
Application submitted: 31 July 2020
Documents uploaded to UKVCAS: 4 September 
Biometric through IDV application: 4 September 2020
Email of receipt of application and delay of 6 month : 8 September 
Decision email : waiting
BRP receipt : waiting
It has been frustrating as waiting for more than 6 months for the decision. I can see decisions for applicants of December and January.

It's been a long journey. Left with a bitter taste after being put through this by the Home Office; but for today, feel like a weight has been lifted and now it's time to move on with life.

We applied for my wife’s ILR whose continuous residence was broken due to having spent 7 months outside the U.K. in 2020 due to Covid so were a bit unsure if the application would be approved. However we wrote a letter explaining the circumstances and proofs of why we were unable to return to the U.K. Thankfully it was approved.
