out of experience it took 3 weeks to get email approval, calling UKVI is not work.. only thing is to wait and see. looks like they are taking max 3 weeks, if you want to panic wait for 3 weeks at least.

Massive update! I've been approved!! After nearly 5 months of waiting, I got fed up, anxious, and scared! I was thinking it would be another holiday missed (Easter) away from my family in New York. Even amongst the Brexit craziness, I appealed to my MP to speed up the process and he did it!! I contacted their offices the previous Thursday and by the Tuesday everything was approved and my documents were returned to me yesterday! The best advice I have is to contact your MP and see if they can do anything, especially if it has been many months of waiting. I know you aren't supposed to chit chat here (sorry mods!) but I wanted to share my good news and perhaps help someone else out! Good luck to everyone! I hope you hear something positive soon!!

Hi everyone,

Documenting this here for my own sanity more than for anyone else! Is slightly discouraging that everyone's application recently seems to be taking almost the full 6 months, but also comforting to know it's not unusual to have to wait!

I was hoping to get to go skiing in April, but it's looking like it may take longer than that, based on other people's recent timelines. :( Disappointing, but would rather just have it and be done with it, than to have to wait about all over again! Double the ski trips next year it seems!

I didn't get any MP involvement as it's within the 6 months standard (just under 5 agonizing months) and my timeline seems about the same as most.
