6. Date payment debited: 10th April 2013
7. Payment mode : Debit Card
8. Acknowledgement letter received: 17th April
9. Biometric letter received: 1st May 2013 (Letter dated 29th April). Actually they had sent the letter before but somehow I did not receive it. Called UKBA and they arranged to send the new letters.
10. Date of biometrics enrolment: 11th May 2013
11. Date of approval: 23rd May 2013
12. Date of return of passport and other documents: 28th May 2013
13. Date (new) leave to remain valid from: 23rd May 2016
14. Date BRP received: 28th May 2013

The passport with approval letter and other documents came in the special delivery envelope I had sent along with the application. The BRP came by a courier later on the same date.

This forum is extremely helpful.

Good luck to all.I found UKBA processing time to be quite good and they arranged to resentd the biometric letter quicly and I received in one week. the letter they sent was dated 3-4 days after I called them and i received it 2 days from the date that was in the letter. There is also a mail address (AppointmentExceptions@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk) that you can write to and they are very quick in replying and arranging new biometric letters.

The new letter had the new date (basically the date this new letter was printed) and the letter asked to attend the biometric within 15 working days from this new date.

Cheers,
Jacob.
