A quick question please. Does the existence of dependants increase the processing time or is it mainly the nationality?
I am not sure what is the main reason for taking long time(almost 6 months for my application), but I can point out two general issues apart from nature of each application which has effects to this process :

2- Purdah status of government: in related to general election in June 2017 , government went to the pre-election period for 4 weeks. it slowed down every functions of the UK government .
