Hi Ale
Do not worry as I have seen that before and that means its on its way but has not reached the destination.
I posted something once to china and it came up like that for while then when I tried again it showed me it had been dispatched and arrived so don't worry it is definitely with the post people.
So excited for you.
@rina How are you love? Are you considering Ombudsman ?
Hi Verbina
I had thrown all my cards to the big guy upstairs and had not bothered to even contact my MP. But I have just called them and the receptionist asked to email them with all my details and they should contact me a few days after. If no one does then I should call them back but she said they usually do.
Apart from the obvious about my case. Can you help me and tell me what to write.
Good girl! I didnt write anything else to my MP apart from a shortened version of my immigration/ life story.
But you can also add about your qualifications and ambitions as the next Coco Chanel and explain how long you have been waiting for HO to decide your case and how much of an asset you will be to the country should you get your stay! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Very well said Verbz. That is what you should include and here is a template from what yummy mummy gave me back then. Just delete and insert where it's appropriate and add what Verbz explained to you.
Letter to MP

I would like to thank you firstly for taking time out of your very busy schedule to read through this email.
As a constituent, I humbly write this letter to request your assistance in the important matter of my visa application which was submitted (INSERT DATE) on the basis of For Leave To Remain [FLR (O)] . Furthermore, biometrics invitation was received and enrolled (20th March, 2013) and since then, no further correspondence has been received.
All phone calls made to the Home Office in Croydon to get an update on my application as proved futile as inconsistent feedback is given week in week out since the month of (INSERT DATE). Applications when made are promised to be dealt with and completed within a 6 months time frame but 8 months on, I am still entangled in the web of an endless wait.
The lengthy wait has really brought about feelings of uncertainty with regards to health issues such as depression, regular high blood pressure, loss of job prospects and hardened financial hardship. Therefore, your help will be very much appreciated in getting a real time update and the possible time frame on when the application made will be finalised.
Thank you very much kind sir.
Yours Sincerely,
Your name
(Phone numbe)
