I've received an email on 21/06/2022 to submit my address history for 2017 to 2019, I've submitted this information the same day. I haven't received a reply for that email even though they said they will reply within 14 working days. Not sure if i have to contact them at this point.

It’s been 3 months since my application and there is still no update. I’ve contacted to national inquiry and other emails I’ve found in this forum, all replied with automated replies. Also contacted MP, she said she she won’t follow up since the process takes 6 months.

Still waiting, it’s so frustrating.
