Still waiting for our UK spouse visa in the USA. Escalated at 31 bd. Heard nothing since 1st email from Sheffield. Silence.
Timeline as of Thu 9 Aug 2018 after 5pm UK time:
50 working days since online application submitted
39 working days since biometrics
36 working days since documents arrived at Sheffield
31 working days from first email from Sheffield ("application is being prepared")
STATUS: WAITING...
Hugs! Priority is running a bit closer to 40 business days at the moment (from the email). So I bet next weekend is your last weekend in the USA!
Unfortunately the last few people who have "escalated" with the contact centre have triggered non-straight-forward emails so I'd really encourage you to sit tight and not bump your application out of the queue.
