Wishing that I'd thought to look at booking a biometrics appointment now that I see how quickly decisions are being made following in person appointments! Didn't even think twice, went straight onto the app when the invitation email came through. Good luck everyone.

Date application sent : 18/03/2020

Date Biometrics Enrolled : 25/03/2020 (Birmingham)

Follow up steps:

• 26/03/2020: email from HO about "exceptionally complex case".
• 08/04/2020: email from HO: “Although we would normally decide your application within 24 hours of your biometric details being uploaded onto our systems, we regret this is not going to be possible in your case.”
• 08/06/2020: First escalation (an automatic reply received).
• 29/07/2020: Second escalation (no response from their side).
• 10/08/2020: Third escalation (no resposne their side).
• 17/08/2020: I called MP and asked him to kindly follow-up the case on my behalf as I had not any other idea. He informed me that he contacted the HO and asked them to urgently consider the case.
• 21/08/2020: email from HO: “The appropriate team has been notified regarding your request. UKVI hope to action your request as soon as possible.”

• Still waiting ..... really desperate and disappointed ..... no idea for the next step .....
