Still no decision... Escalated 3 times and told still in progress... 8 months down... Can't be much longer...

Over 9 months now... Escalated to MP this week.
Hopefully not much longer!

Unfortunately has just passed 10 months and not a single indication of progress... Fingers remain crossed and hope everybody is staying well amongst the stressful situation.

Well, the amazing news:

Type Of Application: Priority
Biometrics Appointment: 17.05.2021 (Croydon, London)
Decision Email: 17.05.2021 (Extension granted for an additional 30 months)
BRP: Not received yet as the email states a waiting time of 7-10 days

Having never used the priority service for any of my applications previously (I could never justify the exorbitant cost), I was pleasantly surprised with how fast it was processed. I received my decision granted email within 5 hours of my biometrics appointment.

I am so upset! It has been 4 months now

Update:

Contacted my MP on April 19th.
He got a reply from Home Office on May 27th which he forwarded to me. They were saying that my application is still being reviewed.

Got a positive decision a week later on June 4th and got my BRP today by post, June 8th.

Contacting MP has definitely helped! Overall it took 6 months.

Good luck everyone!
