Decision Letter received: I haven't receievd the decision letter, but the right to work website shows no limit. I never received an approval email. I did check the spam everyday.
BRP Card Received: 04/02/2021


I didn't have an employer letter from the previous employer to support the absence as they had paper based approvals. I submitted a cover letter explaining the same. My out of UK days were 27 working days.

Do check the right to work status after two days of BRP submission. This changes first before you receive the decision email.

Over the moon getting a result today almost taking 6 months! Guys, the HO reviews the applicants based on the submitted date of the application so it will be your turn soon! It seems that the HO reviews all applications who submitted it end Aug so fingers crossed for all SET (M) applicants who desperately await xx
