Strange ILR delay email from the Home Office...please help!

Hi there! Have any of you applying for ILR from the T2/Skilled Worker depedant route has received this strange email from the Home Office Atlas? It notifies a delay in deciding the outcome of my ILR application:
Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK as a dependent joiner.

Although we would normally decide your application within eight weeks from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.

This is because we are currently awaiting the outcome of a decision to be made on your sponsor’s application.
More details for my situation:
  • Partner has already been granted ILR in 2021 after years of being on the Skilled Worker. So he needs work to sponsor him anymore.
  • I applied mid February knowing that it usually takes six months for my ILR to come through before my current dependent visa expires in mid August
  • Application, biometrics and supporting documents all went through fine
Please kindly advise if you've experienced this strange notification. I'm very confused and thinking about contacting my MP to help me with my application.

Thank you for the support!!

This is probably some error in the notification as the skilled worker dependant's ILR has no connection to the sponsor at all.

Hi willowmom,

Even we got this email for my wife ILR application mentioning about delay specifying about sponsor application, and I am already on ILR, so in similar situation as you are.

So did you took any further steps after you received this email or have you got any further information related to this.

Please do let me know on this.

Thanks.
