Mn1 application section 3.2

[MysonsMn1application]

How long do you think they will take to process the application?
The reason I'm asking is because i applied on 16th of july 2023 and sent the biometrics on 30th july 2023 and i have nearly reached the 1 year mark.

It is impossible to know. It can take as long as they like as we have repeatedly said in the thread, the standard processing time is 6 months but some applications can take much longer, plus you applied from abroad and had to submit further evidence which are both factors that delay the process. Suggest to submit a complaint if you haven't already and start following up on that one as well.

Did you submit a SAR? MPs generally only get boilerplate replies.
