So, it looks like people who have applied in the month of May have started getting their applications processed.
Anyone near 18th May heard about their visa status.

Hi,
Pmed you back
goto_venkat wrote:Hi zeezeezee,
Can u let us know what is the process that u have followed to make MP call UKBA.
zeezeezee wrote:Hi,
Applied from Hyderabad too.
I contacted the MP she called the UKBA up my hubby (WaliMeer on the forum) and he got the visa a week later- Guess what they stamped it the day that my mp called- i think they processed it quickly.
!!!
So i'd highly recommend it once you hit 60 days.

My wife submitted the settlement application on 10th May from Hyderabad, India, We haven't heard anything yet, it's over 2 months
Can we send an email to the counsulate and find out what's happening, has anyone got there email address,
If get a letter from my local MP in UK do you think what will speed up the process,
any comments much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

Everyone's case is different. Email me on

There's no real way of checking. There is a deadline for the ECM to review and respond back by or else it goes to court. The best thing to do as I am going now with my awife's appeal, is sit aptiently and wait. Hopefully they'll respond and overturn before the deadline otherwise you'll be given a court date.

Agreed.
Documents sent are useful, but no two people have the same circumstances, so sometimes it's better to actually put your circumstances in as well, so people get an idea of if you're divorced/widowed or maybe a soldier who was in prison etc etc.
Documents are useful but personal circumstances and how they proved them is even more useful.
