Yes 2 months is not that long! just be patient and in the end you will see the brighter side of things. I took an Emglish exam (IELTS- academic) and submit it along with my other documents when i lodge the application.

i know it doesnt seem that long but i have children i need to think about what i will do if things dont work and at what time of year id get an answer as to what i would do and how i would solve it.
also i was trying to apply since jan 2012 so it feel slike i have been waiting forever not to mention my father is extreamly ill and had a operation and i missed being there for him now he needs care and i cant even travel to him
so it feeels like a lifetime

I did my Biometric at Post Office on 19th July 2012, since then i've not heard anything from the UKBA. Just sent my case paperwork to my MP as required by him. Never know what's gonna happen. I apply base on article 8 too. My solicitor never heard from the UKBA yet too.
