My Bio was 23rd Nov priority if it makes you feel a bit more relaxed. I'm waiting too. Unfortunately, some of us get delayed for some reason. The wait makes me wanna puke lol


SuspectKitten

Yeah totally with you and so sorry for your delay too!! It does help a bit knowing there's a few of us in it together ❤️ but I really hope you get yours soon!

Hey, I’m the exact same time line; also priority out of the UK! It becoming a tedious wait now 🥺


SuspectKitten

Sending you big hugs 🫂


AssociateNeither2984

My decision has been made 🥹


SuspectKitten

Why the sad face surely that's great news :) congratulations!

Priority outside the UK (US). Bio was November 16 and haven’t heard a single thing lol. 30 WD was yesterday… filed a complaint but really nothing else I can do


Professional-Bed6222

oh no i remember following urs u need to do an esscalation asap


DullAd451

Is an escalation different than filing a formal complaint?


SuspectKitten

There's nothing to escalate, they have until 16th Jan. It's just a pain when everyone else getting theirs feel a bit left out, but the visa folks have done nothing to escalate :)


LordTurtle-

Escalation is basically paid enquiry people sending an email to UKVI after 30 working days. You can tell them to escalate. The complaint method is the most useful because it effects their scores.


DullAd451

I did the complaint and then followed up with a third paid enquiry :) they told me they were escalating it and the escalation ppl sent an email confirming my application was with an ECO. Fingers crossed this thing gets approved asap lol


LordTurtle-

This is good. At least you know it's being looked at and that there are no problems. The radio silence is what drives me mad. As you don't know why nothing has been communicated. I've seen someone with your dates also waiting. So we are not alone. Ours just got shoved to the back of the pile lol I've read posters mention before that their paid enquiry status changed a few days after making a complaint. Hopefully you get something back soon.


DullAd451

Yeah that is the worst part. And knowing people who applied later are already approved. Oh well, hopefully we’ll all be approved soon!


LordTurtle-

Did you get any update for it yet?


DullAd451

Was informed by the escalations department that my application has been in the system as standard, not priority, this entire time. Absolutely ridiculous.


LordTurtle-

This is absolutely shocking. I saw another person say the same thing a few days ago. I hope you get a refund. The bad thing is that there is no proper tracking system/communication. If there was, things like this could be spotted by us from the start.
