How to check status of Visa application within UK

Hi,

Does anyone know how to check visa status within UK?

The link below doesn't work anymore, is there an alternative?

No there is not. A reminder that the link was a Beta/Trial service, not 'live' and not accurate either.

If your application is over the published service standard timeframes you can use the following link if you require an update - https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk

Thank you CR001 for your response.
Yes the previous link did not seem live but some people updated timeline saying-DECIDED Online.

I also found in the tier2 timeline that someones visa was approved within 5 weeks of application only very recently.

That keeps me worried--whether there is any negative significance if I dont hear anything within 8 weeks(mine is 7 weeks now).
