I do not know if this helps, but, one of the forum member "Sali123" who attended around 29 or 30th March in Croydon, had his visa approved yesterday. I think backlog has started to clear up. Good luck to all

From what I can gather anybody who applied on the same day as i did could well be waiting for two months for the postman to knock. God that was an expensive decision not to opt for postal application, and no recourse for a refund. i have been waiting in anxiously for the post this last week but now won't bother for a month. Does anybody have any idea, is the special delivery likely to come in the mornings or can it also come in the afternoons, please?

Why do you worry about the timings of special delivery so early,
you still have two months wait period before the postman knocks the door.

sarcasm being the lowest form of wit, is it not? I have to get one of my workers to fill in for me if i take time off to stay at home and await the post. Plan ahead dear boy, plan ahead. Unlike many I don't want my ILR to arrive quickly in order to bleed the silly suckers dry, and sign on for all I can get.
