Just an update. I am still waiting for any kind of confirmation letter. Gave a call to Immigration today and been told that delay is caused by less amount of workers in HO due to situation in the country. My status in Right to work changed so I hope it’s a good sign. I am not sure if I will get a refund of £800?
