how does it work? ILR

[ds.grg]

i am wife of a Gurkha army, currently serving for the British Army.I had my Set(O) application sent in about 2 months ago and since then I have only got a response saying that it has been received and nothing else. Since the new Biometric Residence Permit has come into action, I am in dilemma as in how long it takes to get a letter to book an appointment. I have sent every strong proofs I have and have also stated that my husband and I will be travelling back to our country on second week of November compassionate leave through the British Army Force office as my mother-in-law is very ill. In 3 weeks time, we will also be moving away to a new place and I might not be able to receive the letter or ILR card if it arrives any later. Even if I had to withdraw my passport back, will my visa be extended as it ends in the mid of December 2012,which is the time we might be returning back to U.K. I am in great need of advice regarding the ILR form as my husband is currently deployed in afghanistan and have no direct source to seek advice.
With these reasons, is there any chances of speeding up the process for the application?

Apply for post redirection at Royal Mail and update your contact details.

No.

I don't think so. That said, you may wish to contact your local MP to request for his help in expediting the matter, given the circumstances regarding your relative back home.
