Applied for ILR 3 days earlier than 28days allowed period

Hi members,
I know, there is a rule that you cannot apply for ILR earlier than 28days before 5 years of holding spousal visa( in my case). And yet, I did submit my form 3 day before allowed date. My main reasoning was following: "sure,form is not fully submitted until I upload my documents and submit my biometrics".
My biometrics were submitted the day after I reached 5 years on spousal visa (1 month after initial application).
My husband has found in the guidelines for HO workers that date should be calculated either from application day or day the decision is made, whatever is in applicant's favour. Sounds reasonable, that is why I made sure I applied biometrics after I reached 5 years.

I would really like to hear from someone who has been in a similar situation and had a positive outcome.

Thanks. Makes it a bit easier for me to wait for their decision.
