seems surinder singh application is picking up. friend applied paper application as follows
applied september 2019
biometrics september 2019
coa october 2019
uk brc 5 years granted jan 2020
Called for paper forms in mid-November 2019 (for pre-settled status - been here for 2 years with spouse)
Got paper forms on 22/12/2019 in the post - took over 4 weeks!!!
Sent out application on 27/12/2019 (special delivery) with passports and BRC (expiring next month...)
Got passports and BRC back today, 11/1/2020 alongside letter (dated 7/1/2020) requesting biometrics
Will do the biometrics on Monday and keep you posted...
Thanks so much for all those who posted a timeline and advice, it really does help others in a similar situation.
Does anyone know if biometrics can only be given at post office? The nearest one that does biometrics is 1.30 hours away from me (I live in Cornwall) but of course will take the trip on Monday if that's the only way forward...
