First Reply from MP: 04/09/2020
2nd Reply from MP : 10/09/2020 - MP stating she is speaking with Home Office and recognized that its been 6 months and I should've received a decision.
3rd Reply from MP: 17/09/2020- Informed that my application is with a Caseworker and should receive a decision shortly.
For those past the 4-5month period i highly recommend contacting your local MP as they have direct communication with the Home Office and can escalate.
There is no doubt in my mind that the only reason i got a response back was because my MP escalated the application to the Home Office.
Lastly, thank you everyone for their Updates. I want to encourage those with existing applications to update whenever they can. I can say its been an immense help to me as I've been refreshing this page daily, so its good to see people getting approvals as it gave me hope when i was waiting for my decision.
Good luck everyone!
