Hi guys ,

Thought I might be of help here as my case was very similar.

I am separated from non EU spouse , did Application in August 2019 and was asked to submit additional information in March 2020 .

It took them 2 months and couple days to get back to me and that was only because I kept calling, I was able to speak to a manager and also write to MP a second time . June 4th they granted my Settle Status .

Good luck everyone, it will seem long and weary but don’t give up !

Thanks for your reply and congratulations for your new status.

Hi All,
Spoke with the Resolution centre today for updates on my application they lady said there was no update and even said there was no record of the call I made last week when the manager assured me of escalating the case and that I will hear from them within 10 days. Anyways so I blew out and ask to speak with a manager again. Pass me to another manager who said she found the record of the call and that an email was sent to my Solicitor yesterday. I straight away rang the solicitor who checked and said there was no email from the home office regarding my application.
Has anyone experienced this? Are they just fooling me? What can I do please. Being waiting since September 2019.

Hi bjoflondon

Yes that same thing happened to me about a month ago , I called to speak with manage , he was actually a supervisor who was very rude , he told me that an email was sent to my solicitor requesting all sort !! I rang my solicitor straight away and nothing like that . No email what so ever.

Things might be looking up for you because I sent mine August 2019 around the same time as you.
Good luck

Hi guys,

just wanted to give you an update as I'd received my decision earlier this week.

My timeline:
Application submitted Feb 8th
Biometrics March 6th
COA Apr 28th
Pre-settled status granted June 15th
The biometric residence card should arrive within 10 working days


I contacted my MP on May 29th and submitted an official complaint on June 10th. I can't say for sure how much any of this helped as I still haven't heard back from any of them. I called the resolution centre several times throughout the whole period, tried speaking to a supervisor twice, however never got through - after several minutes of waiting on the line calls just got interrupted.

I wanted to share my experience as this forum had been a great support during desperate times of waiting.

I wish you all best of luck!!

I have similar case:
Paper application was received on 4th September
COA was dated 24th September.
After several calls, spoke to MP 15 May
HO replied 29th May, saying still reviewing.
Spoke to a Manager 5th June... who escalated
Spoke to another manager again 17th June and took my complain and lodge it...
Still waiting as at the time of this text...

It is so frustrating, but I believe that God will intervene fir us all who have been waiting

Applied: 14 Jan 2020 via app, COA received instantly
Settled status granted: 22 June 2020

The system couldn't find any tax information about me, so I submitted P60 for 5 years and a letter from the employer confirming 5 years of employment. Also submitted marriage certificate and linked application number of my spouse who already received settled status by this date.

Called them every two weeks since mid-February with no result.

A month ago I missed a call from HO. Gave them a call back 1 hour later, resolution center confirmed that a caseworker tried to call me, but refused to connect with them. Only told me they wanted to ask the date of marriage. I said that I applied based on my BRC so they should already know everything and that I initially submitted the marriage certificate, so the question is ridiculously stupid, but still confirmed the date so it's recorded in my file.
Two weeks ago called resolution center once again and filed formal complaint with a supervisor.
This morning received the outcome.

Thanks to God. And all friends on this forum for moral support and guidance.
