Any idea what can I do to twek the process? Should I call to escalate??
 Any advice will be helpful. Thanks again

So sorry that you still don't have any answers.  Stay away from contacting UKVI yourself.

What you may want to do is see if your MP can find out any additional information for you, though I suspect they will not get any details either.  But it's worth a shot.  Big hugs!

Looks like BD 27 is about to come and go with no decision for me just yet. Who else is still waiting?

Today is only BD 14 for us....hopefully not too many more to go! Fingers crossed you hear something very soon!

I'm only on BD 16. I hope you hear something soon, this wait is agonizing!

Hey we've got similar timelines!! We are anticipating a 40 BD wait, bc our last app was refused.   But hopefully we get good news soon!

I noticed that too! I'll be following when you get your decision. 
Fingers crossed it doesn't take that long for either of us!

Thanks! Hope you get your answer soon too and it’s an approval with your second application

Oh yes it is! I jump every time I get an email notification.

Fingers crossed for quick decisions for you all! 

Have any priority people had any news this week so far?
Fingers crossed we all get our approvals soon!

Not yet - BD 30 for me. Trying to be patient but not doing a good job of it.

Haha, me too. I'm only on BD 19, yet I'm still obsessively refreshing my email and every visa group/forum I'm a part of. Realistically I know it will AT LEAST  be another 1-3 weeks until I get a decision, but I can always hope, right?

There is always hope!

Same! I flinch every time my email notification goes off. I keep having dreams about the decision email, then I wake up thinking it’s real. I start waking up around 4 to check my phone then I’ll fall back to sleep, wake up to check, and repeat the process. Be nice to finally get the answer, I just might get some decent sleep again.

I’m starting to notice more people mentioning the possibility of or an attempt to escalate applications after 30 days. Am I missing something? I seem to recall the best means of escalation is 12 weeks in through prodding the local MP.
