Still waiting. Received a letter from home office saying ‘we aim to process all applications within 6 months however following our assessment of your case it appears we will not be able to process your application within 6 months. This is because your case raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to process. We will make a decision as soon as possible ‘. Guess it’s a waiting game
Update.. 24 October..received email to send proof of paid ccj. Sent proof same day
