I'm still waiting since 14/05 as well. I emailed them this week and they replied that there's no decision but didn't give any other information.

I did email my MP yesterday. What's the point of calling them though, you can't get through to a real person anyway, can you?

What phone number did you call? I just tried 0845 010 5200 and there's a machine saying that all enquiries are handled by email (then the call terminates).

Just called them, selected option 2. The guy asked me to confirm personal details and then put me on hold for almost 10 mins. When he came back he said that the application was still under consideration, they don't need any additional documents and the only thing I can do is wait. He was apologetic but couldn't do much.
Let's see if my email to the MP makes any difference.

Congratulation. Finally your wait is over. They manage to complete your application few days before the 6 month deadline. Someone said they are now trying to reply before 6 months . Many delay applications are coming back now few days before they reach 6months period.

Thats great. Just over 6 months? I do not understand why some applications take such a long time to complete compared to some getting approval with in a month.
