I thought I'd share my story...
I applied for an extension back in Aug 2012. I recieved the biometric letter in Feb and I submitted it mid Feb.. and I am still waiting!
My case is slightly more urgent than most.. I am getting married, well I was due to get married last Oct, postponed it to May 25th, I've also had to postpone that one as there was no sign of the visa... My lawyer sent them a letter asking for an expedition back in March explaining the urgency- to which we got a reply saying 'they sympathise with my situation but they will not expedite..' I then wrote to my MP, she wrote them a letter also in March and they never replied to her. she then sent me a letter saying.. she still hasn't recieved a reply and that she is going to chase them with another letter.. still NOTHING!!!
From reading some of the posts on here, it looks like they are processing newer applications first as there are many ppl who applied around the same time as I did are still waiting in vain... SOOOO not fair!!
I decided to call them last week in the hope that I speak to a person with a heart and not just a just a robot but I got the latter.. the response..'your application is still in progress' I asked for time frame and the woman said.. by the end of Summer.. what does that even mean?!?!?!
I am tearing my hair out! my life is litterally on hold and I don't know what else to do!!! I wish there was somethinmg we can all do!!!!
