How to Contact an MP to help with Settlement Visa
« on: June 18, 2017, 08:35:13 PM »
This might seem like a silly question, but I googled and the first hit was this forum and someone recommending contacting an MP...I just can't figure out how. Obviously my husband (who is in the UK/British citizen) would do it but if someone can tell me how he should do it,  it would make my life easier.

Thank you!

If it hasn't been 12 weeks from the application I believe they will tell the mp to wait till then. Im pretty sure I have read that on here. I know it sucks, but you may have to just wait.

That does seem to be what the Home Office tells the MP now but of course, it's worth a shot.

I think you're right, I just want to confirm if they accepted my application as priority or not since the enquiry line seems to have no access to that information.

I'm going to try and hold off for a bit, but it's been more than 30 business days and the enquiry line is so utterly useless.

I do hope you get some answers because its clear how much you miss your family. I just know especially at the start of the year people were told to wait. Maybe they are being more compassionate. Either way, rooting for you.
