Visa type: FLM(M) - unmarried partner (Switch from Tier 2)

Application submitted online: 9/12/20
Visa/immigration health charges paid: 9/12/20
Documents uploaded: 3/1/21
Documents checked/confirmed: 5/1/21
Biometrics (in person): 6/1/21

I have heard nothing since. I’ve tried going to my MP/MSP and the complaints email at the Home Office as well as the customer service line. Not one person can get information regarding this visa. So I’m still waiting.
