I've heard back from my MP
And this is what HO replied
On 18 January 2020, Mr xxx applied under the EU Settlement Scheme. I am sorry for the delay in concluding his application.
The published processing times for applications under the EU Settlement Scheme specify that applications usually take between five working days and a month to process. However, processing times can be extended where:
* A caseworker needs to request more information from the applicant
* An applicant is applying as a minor and their application is not linked to an adult
* They submit a paper application
* They have a relevant criminal record
* The applicant is a non-European Economic Area or non-Swiss citizen and is applying based on a relationship they have not relied on in a previous application to the Home Office.
As Mr xxx is applying under the EU Settlement Scheme based on a relationship that he has not relied on in a previous application to the Home Office, his application will take longer to process. In these instances, processing times will vary on a case-by-case basis.
Part of the application process entails routinely conducting checks with other government departments and external agencies. The extent and length of time taken to complete these checks varies according to the particular circumstance of each application, and only once these checks are complete can a decision be made on whether to issue status under the EU Settlement Scheme. However, the progress of these checks is regularly monitored.
So far, our enquiries have not been completed with regards to Mr xxx's application. We are continuing to process applications during this time, however, due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic we have changed our working practices to keep both staff and customers safe. In light of this, I am unable to provide a timescale as to when a decision will be made as applications may take longer than usual to conclude and we kindly ask for your patience during this period.
Once a decision has been made, Mr xxxxx will be notified accordingly.
So I'm wondering what kind of checks they're conducting with other government departments and external agencies.
Application 18/01/2020
Biometrics 27/01/2020
COA 16/04/2020.
My wife has been granted settled status and I submitted our marriage certificate and my three year old sons birth certificate.
Can some shed a light on this please
Im confused
how long did it take the HO to answer to your MP, please?
Thank you!
I messaged him on 29th of May
Got a reply from him this Friday that just passed.
