Hi Wasim111

Same here, my wife and son biometric was done in 13/02/2018.

escalated it 3 times and I only received 1 email from them.

Thank you for your enquiry.

We have previously communicated our customer service target for settlement applications as 60 working days. Unfortunately, we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service target. We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause.

However, I can confirm that your IHS payment for your dependant has been received and that we are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible over the coming days.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

Ben Smith

UK Decision Making Centre

My wife received that Email back in 01/06/2018, after a month I called my local MP to do the follow up for my Visa Application, because escalating it myself is worthless, they just want to get money from you. Anyway that's my own opinion.

Hi,
Hopefully we will get positive descion by end of this month i also Esclate 3 times n last email i got yesterday saying that we will escalte your case to relevant department in order to make it faster and will make descion as soon as possible lets see hope we will get descion soon.
I involved local M.P as well but still no luck.

Hoping for best and you will also get positive descion soon.

Wasim don't worry, we will hear about our application soon, some people who applied back in January already got their visa application result.

I will pray for you, because I know how hard it is to wait, it was frustrating and stressful.
