They have up to six months to deal with your application, which does not run out until March this year. No need for solicitor to contact them now.
They would have sent you a Certificate of Application (COA) which i guess should allow you to work until your application is decided

as part of the bail requirements am not allowed to work and since i was released from detention around end of september i was told to be reporting to the police station until 23rd of december , have been doing so but am still not told about anything even though the bail period has end
cert of approval was not sent

That is what i believe your solicitor will need to work on.
As soon as an application has been made and the necessary documents provided indicating a valid marriage, a certificate of application should be issued within a month and reporting restriction suspended.
