Acknowledgement Received on: 05/10/2017
Biometric Letter Received: 03/11/2017 (Dated 01/11/2017-First Class) -Had to chased them numerous time- Reminder bio-metrics letter received 04/11/2017 (Dated 02/11/2017-First Class).
Biometric Enrolled On: 03/11/2017
Contacted MP on 08/11/2017 to assist on in expediting the application as I had booked my flights for 05/12/2017 but as always MP reply saying Home office said my case is complex will take longer then normal service standards of 8 weeks and MP can do anything to expedite.
Decision of Application ( https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus ): Decided: 15/11/2017
BRP Card Received: 16/11/2017
Dcouemnts received back : 17/11/2017.
A useful tip, never book tickets in advance and if you case is straight forward, do everything to chase UKVI if you are suffering delays as the they are very good in 8 week service standards

BRP Card Received : :(

My elderly dad is unwell and I need to travel to see him. We have had our MP involved and supporting us, and are awaiting 'medical evidence' they are going to send in to see if it will expedite our decision. We are dismayed and frustrated, as we both work, own a home outright, support the community/volunteer, pay taxes and are good people.Our caseworker said to us 'we can see you meet the guidelines, but we just need the tax document to support the application' . Why on earth is this taking so long?? This isn't a complex case! I was told even if my dad passed away, I would have to withdraw my application to travel, be subject to being banned from coming back (to my family, home, job and life), and would lose any monies paid into my application.
