Innovator Dependant Visa - Processing Time

Dear All

My husband is on innovator visa and he is currently in the UK. Me and the kids applied dependant-partner and dependant-child visa in Beijing with biometrics on 29 June 2022.

The UKVI website states the average processing time is 3-4 weeks. However, 13 weeks had passed and we still don't hear anything from UKVI.

I have done paid email/calls to escalate a few times, but only standard reply - under consideration

May I ask for sharing of recent timeline - anyone else who applied dependant visa outside UK?

Really anxious as kids' schools in the UK had already started for more than one month now but they can not join schools.

Many thanks indeed.
