Hoping people will post on this timeline instead of several different ones, especially for the pros ksand24, KFdancer and Larrabee.

Agree

Thank you mbmoffat! I think this will make life a lot easier! 

Perhaps we should have one place (no chat) for the archived months too so that people can look back on the historical data?

Received my BRP in the mail today. I had expected my passport to come back first with a letter, but I won't complain! Now just to get the paperwork back. Soon!

Package sent: 25 May
Arrived in Sheffield: 26 May
Confirmation letter: 3 June (dated 1 June)
Biometrics: 6 June
BRP received: 7 July

Wow!  That was crazy fast!

Usually the documents arrive the same day or following day via Royal Mail.

If anyone for any reason needs March and April full application details they can go back through here:

And want to back with my husband to Uk

Hang in there.... Hoping you get more lucky than I!  Looks like June applications are zipping through... also less applications have come in...

Likey people just haven't found their way to us yet.  June, July, and August traditionally have a huge surge in applications.  As June has been processing so quickly, it's likey we'll see fewer people join.  People tend to only join when they start Googling after an unexplained wait.

Good insight.

That's how I found you guys! Really, the thing on their website that tells you how long processing from the US is taking should just have a link to here.

That's why I'm worried because looks same what happened with May applicants 😐
Will see what will happen but I know if I pass Tuesday without getting nothing so meaning I'll wait more

Where did you apply from?  And was your application sent via post or via a TLS Centre?
