Thanks bro once again really appreciate

[Ali0857]

Jus keep sendin thm emails once every month .. or call .. n Hope for the best

[Mal111]

well calling them and emailing them will only help in case they have sent you correspondence that may have been lost in post so you will become aware of that

the service is only for assisting people with their application and related questions and not for updating status they know nothing unless the application has already reached a conclusion in that case they might tell you a day before you received the actual decision in post.

btw I call/email them once a month too despite knowing all of the above
it gives me shred of hope

Most likely they are trying to make sure that you are still living legally in the country and you don't have significant absence from it.

Being away for 8 days in Ireland wont affect your case. I was away every year for 3 weeks and more before I applied but never have any problems. Mine took 10 months altogether from start to getting my passport. All the best!

I think you are still in second stage so there is no time-frame for this stage as they are still conducting checking your file. Your passport should be returned to you within six weeks as it is stated on the website. However, sometimes it takes much longer. I think in six weeks you can write to them and ask them to return your passport if you need it for travel.
