Local MP tried to reach to Home office but got standard reply saying it is within 6 months timeline and should expect reply before 14/02/2019, if not UKVI will let know.

It is very frustrating to wait for nearly 5 months and no reply. not sure if there is any way to expedite process?

I have complaint to them, to no avail.

I approached my MP last week, who called me to say he approached HO about my application but can't do much as it hasn't been 6 months. Three months + 1 week and counting...!

By the grace of Almighty Allah, after 10 years of dealing with Home Office, I have finally received my ILR today. Thank you for everyone's help on this forum throughout my 10 year immigration journey.

Over the moon this has finally been approved and received. What was a very straight forward application took a lot longer than I thought it would, but well within the six month timeframes given. To all those people still waiting, hang in there.
