Special Circumstances to Attend a Funeral

Is anyone aware of any process whereby I could obtain approval to travel to the UK to attend a family funeral while my visa is being decided? My wife's mum is 97, in very poor health and we are starting to worry that my visa won't be approved in time. Not being morbid here but want to be prepared for the worst-case.

That might be a reason for your application to be fast tracked on compassionate grounds. I would contact your MP and see if they can help.
