I contacted a guardian reporter who had helped someone with their FLR(M) keeping them from being able to remortgage. Of course there was an "administration error" on their app and it was approved 2 days after the media contacted them. They gave the covid helpline for people to call if they have concerns, but of course that help line, nor the main UKVI helpline are able to check the status of an application. I had to do something, even if it was just another shout into the void. I said my case is not unique and family immigrants are just being forgotten in an immigration system that is cruel. We pay so much to be abused, this entire process has made my CPTSD so much worse. I applied in May, visa expired in June, IDV App August 27th (I think, around then). *sigh*... Just keep hanging in there. It will come and we are all in the same boat.
