Up to this moment, they have not touched September SET(M) applications or even very late Aug who have received the eligibility email with us (29/30/31 Aug). I think they would start processing few by December, however, it is going to be really random (as it has always been) no chronological order within the month. I am 04/09 applicant and I still think October/November applicants might get decision before I do (if I will be unlucky enough). Just my own thought, put in mind it is 50/50. Although my hope is much less than this, my strategy is to expect the worst lol. All the very best though, you might be lucky to get it before NY. Keep positive if this helps you.harryisababy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 10:04 amApplied for Set M on 16 Sep, Bio done through app on 24 Sep.
Is it likely to see the result before end of year? Thx
great analysis again, would you by any chance know by your spreadsheet or data, if there are many June SET(M)s still waiting or the average days it has been taking for SET(M) to get a decision please?Ameline wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 10:20 amUp to this moment, they have not touched September SET(M) applications or even very late Aug who have received the eligibility email with us (29/30/31 Aug).

I like your feeling, I'd go with that as well, thanks a lot for the best wishes and your bespoke analysis, hoping this ends soon, fingers crossed, I wasn't even aware we had three SET(M)s this week, must've missed it somehow.Ameline wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 11:06 am@debrancherenzym
There are definitely few waiting, I have seen them here and on fb.
The 6 months for all May applicants will be due by 1st of Dec. I think they are trying to clear them up. However, the focus now is definitely on June SET (M) applicants, as this week alone, we have had 1 May approval and 3 June Approvals (this is 75% of the total SET (M) approvals of this week so far).
Just to give you a bespoke analysis lol, the 3 June applicants submission dates were 12, 18 and 28th so your application date is somewhere in the middle of these dates.
As you might know my friend, it is all random for SET(M), you might receive good new anytime between now and 22 Dec (as I doubt they go beyond 6 months wait for you). My feeling says you would get your approval before 1st Dec
Best of luck.
You should not be comparing your timeline with other routes here. Since you had discretionary leave for 6 years and applied ILR then, it can not be compared with other immigration routes discussed here. You should wait patiently.

My lawyers are not replying yet so I have not yet received any decision emails, but fingers crossed it will be forwarded soon! Can’t believe I’m close to the end of this wait!

I just checked this website under the option 'I have a UK Visas and Immigration account' and when I put in my information, it said I do not have an account, did I do something wrong. Should I contact the HO?gag285 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 2:45 pmazLondon2020 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 2:28 pmWhat website are you looking on? https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work
Not questioning the assertion but what exactly could the reasons for not being able to process dependents be. I think most dependents (on PBS before 2018) don't need to be checked for absences. The only three checks are LITUK, English Knowledge and Cohabitation, proof of which is included as part of the application. Their relationship status accepted as proof when they were granted last leave. I applied with my spouse and although they qualified late last year on Long Residence basis, I thought it will be easier to apply together on Set (O). In retrospect it was such a foolish decision.mahaveer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:11 pmHi All,
I was eligible for ILR since 6th April but could not apply before lockdown happened and on June 4th applied when they opened back. Applied for ILR for me and my wife together.
More 15days to go to complete 6 months and hoping that I get it before that.
Our company has premium account with Home Office and that means we have dedicated account manager within HomeOffice for our organization and earlier this account manager was able to speed up process if they are stuck anywhere and has got quick responses to applications (before covid) and now their internal mechanism allows to raise complain only if 6months and no response is received, know this as our company's immigration team approached and got this response.
The delays that has been noted for applications within our organization is for those applying with dependents and not for those who have done individual application, for them it was received in 2months.
Yes dependents tend to slow down the approval for SET(O).mahaveer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:11 pmHi All,

2 months from application submission date.azLondon2020 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:38 pmThat's great to hear! Do you mean 2 months from the application submission date or 2 months from biometrics submission?
There is just some unknown concern with Home Office on dependents!gag285 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:23 pmNot questioning the assertion but what exactly could the reasons for not being able to process dependents be.

I have a couple of friends who applied with dependents and got a decision in under a week. This was before half term last month of course. So, not sure if there is a pattern but you seem to have more info.mahaveer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:11 pmHi All,

Very interesting. Without divulging too much information (of course) I'm assuming your employer is of a significant size. Can you divulge what industry/sector your employer operates in?mahaveer wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:11 pmHi All,
