4 months and 3 weeks since submission and have not heard from UKVI. Hopefully soon..
Emailed Further Nationalities on 1/9/2023 waiting for a response - no response.
Emailed again Further Nationalities on 11/09/2023 waiting for a response.
Also asked MP to email HO to get an update on 11/09/2023. Awaiting response.
6 months since submission and have not heard from UKVI. Hopefully soon..
Received a response today from Further Nationalities that application is still being processed and the enquiry has been forwarded to caseworker team.
Received a similar above response from HO via MP. I guess we must just wait as they say enquiries are ongoing.. so frustrating process this is..
Received an email regarding service standard stating:
This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision.
Emailed MP today to request to follow up with HO to check what is so complex about my simple straight forward application and also to ask if that is a generic email template that I have received.
