Interesting morning!
We have been watching the passport tracking and it was about 2 hours away when I received an email from my MP saying they were advised the application had been approved!!!!
Our application from biometrics took 41WD, which was a bit too long for priority but its over now!
At WD 34 I contacted my MP
At WD 39 we called HO after not getting response to email, they escalated on that call and today, WD41 we have passport in hand.
Final timeline;
Online application: 25th June
Biometrics: 2nd July
Docs received NY: 5th July
ECO email: 12th July
Decision made email: 28th August
Passport in hand: 29th August
What a taxing, anxiety filled process this is. Thank you for all the guidance on the forum and good luck to anyone still waiting.
I have a few questions regarding entering UK and preparing for FLR(M) - as we did the fiancé route. But I will post these once we have absorbed the good news
