The process changed right as most of this batch applied, so I can see why everyone is nervous and it just changed recently within the last week and someone package is now lost and with no documentation or anybody to ask. I see why myself and others are panicked.
Plus at this point we are no longer priority. So we could say they quickly made money off us for a service we arent getting. We must can voice our frustration.
At this point if the email is paid for you can email and escalate as much as you want (to get your money's worth).

You ARE priority though. Priority gets your application to the front of the queue - which you know yours is as you’ve had that confirmed through your emails and your MP. Priority does not guarantee a processing time. Over the summer (peak), priority takes about 9 weeks. Every year. It’s never as long over the holidays, but it definitely goes over 6 weeks every year. Unfortunately you guys are the ones caught up in it.
Do know that we GET it. We’ve all been there. But we do try to encourage you guys to try to keep busy, put it at the back of your mind as best as possible, and to not throw away good money. But if it gives you piece of mind, go for it. Just know that frequently “the email/call line” give wrong information (saying a decision has been made when it hasn’t, sending people into a tailspin of panic when they don’t get the decision email for another month, just to discover the information given was incorrect and the visa was only JUST issued).
It’s a cruel, horrible process that needs transparency. We all agree. And we all HATE UKVI. But unfortunately, this is just a taste of how frustrating it can be to live in the UK. It’s like a sorority hazing.
