As you can tell my application has taken 2 months beyond the 6 months time, it got me worried. Best thing you can do if you are in similar situation is call the Home office regularly even if they reply with generic response and ask for update and also send letter to your MP if it's beyond 6 months.

I wish everyone the best for future.
