Gujarkhan · Post by **Gujarkhan** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 4:48 pm

Nothing to report here really. 60 days have past and 15 days since escalation will pass tomorrow. I emailed them for an update this was the reply

We escalated your case to the relevant department on 12.6. 18 .You should be contacted regarding your case within 15 working days from the date of escalation.
You have already been contacted on 29.6.18 regarding your application you may not receive any further correspondence until a decision has been made.

In contact with local mp and they said they can only intervene when u go past 6 months.
