Massive update! I've been approved!! After nearly 5 months of waiting, I got fed up, anxious, and scared! I was thinking it would be another holiday missed (Easter) away from my family in New York. Even amongst the Brexit craziness, I appealed to my MP to speed up the process and he did it!! I contacted their offices the previous Thursday and by the Tuesday everything was approved and my documents were returned to me yesterday! The best advice I have is to contact your MP and see if they can do anything, especially if it has been many months of waiting. I know you aren't supposed to chit chat here (sorry mods!) but I wanted to share my good news and perhaps help someone else out! Good luck to everyone! I hope you hear something positive soon!!

Another monthly update.

Hi everyone,

Documenting this here for my own sanity more than for anyone else! Is slightly discouraging that everyone's application recently seems to be taking almost the full 6 months, but also comforting to know it's not unusual to have to wait!

I was hoping to get to go skiing in April, but it's looking like it may take longer than that, based on other people's recent timelines. Disappointing, but would rather just have it and be done with it, than to have to wait about all over again! Double the ski trips next year it seems!

I've been lurking for a while; I figured I'd post my timeline in case anyone else has similar dates and is still waiting.
