I applied on 27 May to get my visa updated on account of new job/employer. I used the UK ID check app.
This is 7th week now and I have not heard any update from the UKVI. The joining date with the new employer is 1 Aug, and I am getting a little worried now, as I see many examples here where people have not heard back for over 9/10 weeks now.
Most of the applications are delayed due to Ukrainian crisis. Hope for the best.
I have applied on 28 Apr and my joining date was on 4 Jul. I could not able to start as I do not complete right to work check.
so, are you just continuing with your current employer?

For the escalation route pointed by bhushanpradhan earlier in the chat, I think it is disabled now. We get an automated reply saying experience in delay etc (for in country) and then call disconnects. Has anyone able to get past this?

I also submitted bio metrics on 9th July for my new born child and have tickets booked to India on Aug 9th, so it will be neck on neck I believe

Hi I've also submitted a priority skilled worker application, and it's currently 7th working day now. But on the 5th working day, I received an email saying the delay is because "your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision". Did anyone receive this same reply?

Hi Sourabh. What contact details did your immigration consultant use? We are trying to reach out the UKVI, but without success.

My immigration consultant is not sharing with me the emails from UKVI. Can not say what kind of emails she received. But i'm still waiting for the decision. Submitted my application on the 5th of July with Priority Service (23 days ago). Did you apply by yourself (without immigration consultant)?
