SOLVIT;
my MP;
I think my MP helped a lot, he updated me by email and even post from the House of Commons.
Hi mate,
Thank you for the update.
I was wondering if you can share with your timelines of contacting the MP and Solvit, also did you receive an email stating that your application is nor straightforwrd?
Hi,
MP
I've contacted my MP on the 27th of October 2017 11:24 (the second time). He has replied on the first of November. 3 weeks later I've received a letter by post from him that his adviser checked with the HO that some progress might happen on the 7th of December. On the 27th of November I sent an email confirmation to my MP and my thanks to him for the letter. On the 28th of November I received a reply from him with quoting his adviser that decision has been made on the 27th.
SOLVIT
24th of October - contacted Romanian SOLVIT
25th - they requested documents:
copy of your passport/ID
copy of your wife's passport,
copy of your marriage certificate,
your registration certificate issued by the British authorities
the proof/receipt of the visa application
any correspondence you had with the British authorities
27th - they confirm having received my documents
30th - I've asked for an update
2nd of November - they replied "The details of your case have been sent to the UK SOLVIT center"
8th of November - I've asked for an update UK SOLVIT
8ths of November - they "have accepted the case against the UK, and will be contacting the UK Authority about the application"
Nothing from them after that.
The wait was not long for us but regardless it was stressful. I wish you all best of luck and may you all get your permits before Christmas and get to celebrate Christmas with your family.
and nervous too 
. I wish everyone on this forum who are waiting for their visa will get it soon.
JUST open the envelope and found FP stamp. So happy
