Visa type: FLR(m) - spouse visa extension - non-priority (priority not available)
Submitted online application: January 23rd 2021
Invited to book a biometrics appointment: 23rd January 2021
Uploaded documents: 18th February 2021
Biometrics appointment done on: 20th February
Received email saying visa was granted: No email received
Received BRP: March 8th. No notice, no emails, just a brown letter through the post with the new BRP. Very weird but very a very good surprise!

Side notes: Our application was super simple, and all the files were organised in a clear manner with contents pages. I assume that may have helped move it along quicker, but maybe not!
Good luck to everyone.
