Awaiting ILR decision for nearly 2 YEARS now - anyone like me?

Hello Guys,

It's been 22 months since I applied for ILR SET(O) under the Tier1 General route and had an interview with UKVI during Apr 2017 but still haven't received a decision on my case. My case isn't complex in the first place but even then 22 months is far tooo long to be stuck without passport. Just wondering if anybody else in the same boat as me.
I've wrote to my local MP during Dec 2017 with my case but at the end he just sent me the same generic reply UKVI sends us if we enquire them about our case -
"as your case is exceptionally complex, we cannot decide within normal timelines...."

I'm desperate to visit my family back home and its so depressing to be stuck without an answer for 2yrs. It would be great if you guys can advice if there is anything I can do to expedite my case. My solicitor is not being helpful and is just sending out a standard whats happening with our case posts to UKVI and they are giving the same generic reply!

A link to my prev post with details of my case:

Thanks in advance!
