They have up to six months to deal with your application, which does not run out until March this year. No need for solicitor to contact them now.

They would have sent you a Certificate of Application (COA) which i guess should allow you to work until your application is decided

That is what i believe your solicitor will need to work on.

As soon as an application has been made and the necessary documents provided indicating a valid marriage, a certificate of application should be issued within a month and reporting restriction suspended.
