THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER.
I would have to say to anyone thinking of escalating to MP...you have to have a good reason to escalate, my MP told me my reason (pending job offer) wasn't sufficient enough to raise the issue with the home office.

The picture on the BRP is the one taken on the in-person biometric appointment. I supposed I would have got the BRP card earlier if I didn't go for the appointment as it might brought me backward in the queue. I hope you will get your decision/BRP soon before the christmas.

The wait is finally over ... No words can express my appreciation to this forum and the Mods, the gurus and other members. It has been quite a journey in UK for me since the moment I applied to T2G 5 years ago and got extremely delayed due to surge in RCoS, until ILR application with delay due to Covid-19. I hope the best results for all of my immigrant fellows, we deserve the best outcome for our relentless efforts in this land!

Mine took a very long time and was an extremely straightforward case (5 years same employer, no dependents, salary and time out of UK within thresholds). So I think it's just luck more than logic. But I would advise others to seek legal advice before applying if they would like it quickly - I had to resubmit documents because wording was not exact.

Good luck!
