Hope this helps those awaiting a decision:

Applied SET[M] (settlement checking service) : 20 Feb 2014

Received letter confirming that BRP is on its way : 28 June 2014

He replied to my initial letter immediately, asking me to confirm that I live in his constituency. Once I had confirmed by email, it took perhaps a week or two to get the application successfully concluded. UKBA admitted to me that it was only when the MP contacted them that they actually assigned t...

We believe it is a straightforward application and the fiancée visa was granted with no trouble in just one week. Does a...
