Hi guys,
My whole family (Husband-French, Child-French, and me-non EU citizen) has applied settled status after 5 years of residence in UK recently, through online application - app and gov.uk website according to gov.uk instruction. The online application process are very fast.
We've now got two (out of three) results already ( for my husband and my child). Theirs are really fast.
1.Applied in 6/6/2020 Saturday in the internet, the next Monday noon, 8th June, my husband got its settled status! Like crazy. We are so impressed by its efficiency.
2. a few weeks passed, my child also got its settled status.
3. I haven't heard anything and still waiting. I did get a CoA automatically generated and immediately after I finish online process (I came to UK with my husband in 2015 and I have 5 years of BRP; we both have been living and working here ever since. Nothing complicated)
So I start checking, getting a bit confused about processing time information that I read from different places and here. Hope someone could help to clarify and I'd know what I should expect.
In gov.uk, the information is as below
----------
Expected processing times
You do not need to contact us once you have applied. We will contact you if we need any further information. There’s no change to your status in the UK while your application is processed.
It usually takes around 5 working days for complete applications to be processed if no further information is required, but it can take up to a month.
Your application is likely to take longer than a month to process if:
we need to request more information from you
you’re applying as a minor and your application is not linked to an adult
you submit a paper application - for example if your application is based on a derivative right to reside in the UK
you have a relevant criminal record
you’re a non-EEA or non-Swiss citizen and are applying based on a relationship you haven’t relied on in a previous application to the Home Office
----------
I'm a non-EEA but none of the above conditions that take longer than a month applied to me. Here in the forum, I could not find any application timeline that sent through online application / digital process or after COVID-19 started. And both my husband and child are so fast, consistent with what gov.uk instructed.
So I'm wondering anywhere I can find that kind of case reference or feedback. How long does it take for them to process a standard non-EEA application statistically?
Many thanks for your input!
