I went to Mark Lane, London on 30th November and haven't had a peep out of HO, not a call, email or pigeon.

Most others seem to be in the same situation though, so I'm not sure what is to be gained by calling the UKVI helpline at this point. I think I'll contact DX though.

Have you contacted DX.

They were denying to escalate it till last monday as it was not yet 5 working days although i applied on 26th. The first time when i called one of them said as i received this email, i have to wait for 5 days and re-escalate it. it is when i tried again and another gentleman found that my case has ...

Hello SunnySakhi, Yes I have used solicitor. Haven't received my parcel yet. called DX and they said they had issues collecting parcels on Saturday. My delivery has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Have to wait for one more day.... :| Is this parcel being delivered to you or your solicitor.

It's good to know that you can still login into the UKVCAS system as I was wondering whether it is for only those who haven't yet got a decision.

Hi badhodor
Have you called HO today.

Did he get an email or letter ?

This new service is turning out to be real nightmare scenario.Nowhere to go for help. Just calling HO seems to be of no help.I wonder what to do to know what is happening with our application.
Feeling of helplessness.
