Applying from : Florida, USA
Cost of application : 2059 GBP
Cost of Health Surcharge fee: 876 GBP
Type of visa applied for : Settlement—Wife
Priority / Non-Priority : non priority
Date On-Line application submitted : 15 March 2018
Date biometrics taken : 23 March 2018 in Tampa, Florida
Date supporting documents sent to Sheffield: 23 March 2018
Cost of using VFS Courier service for delivery and return to Florida : 265 GBP
Acknowledgement email from Sheffield, UK : 28 March 2018
Email sent to Decision Making Centre for status update: 23 May 2018
Email response from Decision Making Centre: 24 May 2018 : "application process continuing to making a decision." - useless!
Emailed to local MP in UK : 27 May 2018 requesting status check with UKVI
MP responded : 30 May 2018 : "application process continuing to making a decision. Contact them if decision not made after 60 working days".
Now at Working Day 47

UKVI website reports during April 2018:
3% of applications dealt with in 3 days
66% in 5 days
67% in10 days
71% in 15 days
83% in 30 days
90% in 60 days
100% in 90 days

Really concerned UKVI have our original documents: passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates and we have had no contact from them since the original acknowledgement email. UKVI did inform our MP if we really needed the passports they could, for a fee, send them back to us - but it would need to be for a really serious issue like a death!
So we enter another week of waiting....

67 days

After 23 months and 7 days of waiting in 'open prison' my ILR was approved by the HO.

Note that the HO sent the acknowledgement letter and biometric letter to the wrong address (my neighbors) - informed HO twice about their error and they still sent correspondence to my neighbor's address particularly the interview letter which I never received in the post; was only made aware of the interview invite because HO decided to email me since they got no response to the paper invite. Thankfully my BRP was sent to the correct address.
