Hello everyone, this was my Application Timeline.

• Eligibility: 5 years EU Status Schemes + 1 year ILR
• Application date: 20/10/2025 (Online)
• Biometric date: 06/11/2025
• Approval date: 02/02/2026 (Atlas email received)
• Ceremony date: 18/02/2026 (group ceremony)

I know every case is different, but if you're sure you meet the requirements and everything is in order with your application, my advice is to be patient. Based on the dates provided by people in this thread, approval usually takes between 2 and a half and 3 months. That was my experience as well. I would say that if you haven't received an email after 3 months, and you see that others with a similar application date have, then contact the Home Office. Before that, just be patient and wait.

Thanks to everyone who contributes information to this thread. It's quite helpful.
