Received a reply from UKVI:
As part of the application process, UKVI routinely conduct enquiries with other government departments and external agencies. The extent and length of time taken to complete these varies according to the particular circumstances of each application. In some instances, these have to be pursued at length.
Each application is unique and is considered on its own merits and the supporting documentation provided therefore we are unable to compare the processing times of one application to another...
one of our case workers will contact you within the next eight weeks. Please accept my apologies that we didn’t communicate this information to you sooner.
So still need to wait for 8 weeks tho. Classic
I really hope they stick to their words and you hear back from them within 8 weeks or sooner.
But do not keep your hopes up. I've seen many people on here that had the same email with the "8 weeks" timeline but never heard back anything for months!!
And when they contacted the HO again, they were either ignored or received another generic reply!
One good thing that I see in their reply to you is the fact that they are now 'apologising'!! So the dummies and robots in HO are being taught to be polite now which is a step in the right direction.
Every time I had the displeasure of contacting HO, the person that replied was so robotic and rude!!
