No. The delays are generally associated with extended checks with multiple government departments and the UKVI compliance team.bizman wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 4:47 pmDoes anyone know the statistics of the entrepreneur that has come to UK through this route. Are they so many that the HO can no longer cope with the volume. Its really frustrating for people to wait for 6 months, one year even 1.5 years to get a decision. I learnt that a decision was even given after 1001 days. This is not good at all. It will definitely affect the business as the applicant will be with a bad state of mind.
Is there anything that can be done about this.
The reason I post this topic just want to gather all applicants who applied on 2016 and haven't got any update since then. Maybe someone who has a good idea to push them, and we can share the informationzimba88 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 4:16 pmI am not sure what value there is no discuss these here. This has been discussed hundreds of times. It is very unfortunate but a long running thread here will not lead to help. The Jan 2018 rules also will not lead to shutting of your account unless you do not have a right to be here (not under section 3C or waiting for an application)
Not like In the prison but sometimes is worried about it because I miss my family in another's country. I haven't been to my home country for two years and want to go back this year. have spent a lot of money and attention to my business and don't want to give up. I have lost a lot due to waiting visa. Very fraustrated.Mehdi123 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 3:29 pmHey mate I'm on the same train as you.
Applied 22nd September 16.
Biometrics 7th Oct. Given 10th.
Got first complex letter and saying we need to interview 18 Nov.
Got second letter and email, invitation to interview from tmi team on 15th Feb and interviewed on 28th Feb.
Solicitor contacted them mid may as 3 months passed.
Got reply June 20th by email saying case is complex may take more than months.
Contacted mp start of September 17 exactly 6 months after interview. Chased up MP for update and they said they have a back log of replying to them upto 3 weeks. Mp wrote stating ho contacted you on 20th June and they still looking into the case as its complex and please contact ho directly if you have any concerns.
Nothing after that. Still waiting. I run an it consultancy and my contracts payout is around 90-100days on invoice date. And heavy damages for breaching and not delivering on time. I can't take on new contracts and need to deliver everything. I have downsized from 3 employees to 1 as need to minimise costs. Everything is in an dis-array. The stress is getting to me and has pushed vitiligo on my whole body. Feels like I'm living in a prison with golden hand cuffs.
I want to build a group via what's app.Hiuk77777 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 2:26 pmDear all,

I have involved MP twice and also send email the public enquires but still no any update.

Thanks
The same feeling. I Am so sorry, they removed my contact number.innocent_sinner123 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 6:43 pmHi,

Biometrics done on 26October
Interview done on 22nd April 2017
Still awaiting reply.
Please add me to the group for what's app.
Or message me your number for further details.
It's getting frustrating. My grandfather passed away 3 weeks ago but could not go to funeral because of the issue and had a baby in sept this year and family hasn't seen her live.
It's effecting both my personal and my professional life.
I tried contacting MP she said she does not deal with immigration matters. I have to launch a complaint to UKVI through their official channels.
Please I would appreciate any help in this regard.
