ESCALATE CASE :10/7/20 REFUSED
Visa granted. : 17/11/20 EMAIL GRANTED
BRP. : WAITING

I phoned immigration on 10/11/20 to ask for application to be escalated. Was told that the new government policy is NOT TO ESCALATE case after 8 weeks. Just sit and wait.
Being self employed I had some worries about documentation concerning this. Thankfully everything turned out fine.
