First of all, the time frame technically for return of application is 12 weeks, so unfortunately, you cant point a finger at anybody for another week at least.

I would advise getting hold of your MP and get a letter written as well as emailed. You will be surprised how quickly they reply to your MP.

Secondly, all applications submitted between 10th Sept and 10th Oct have been subject to delays due to a computer breakdown, as per the BHC website.

Third, The BHC is in the process of moving to Dubai anyway, adding to the delay.

So, I think you just need to be patient. It depends a lot on the ECO and the Casework team assigned to your case as well.

Best of Luck.
