Have you applied for a Care Worker sponsor licence by any chance?

The Home Office can take as long as it wants really after the application is moved into “complex”
It could take months before you are selected for a physical visit, you could be lucky and get a digital audit. Digital audits are progressed quicker, normally 4-6 weeks BUT if you fail the digital audit it could be many more weeks / months for a physical audit thereafter.

A number of considerations will impact the speed of the decision if a physical audit is required.
Geographical location. The more remote the business from the major cities or if in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
The business sector.
The previous history with the immigration services.

Good luck

Yeah. I have service based business of double glazing. I am doing self sponsership visa currently on graduate visa. But the main issue is my visa is only remaining till half of november and is any chance i can chase home office through mail or call?

[Frontier Mole]

That might be the issue - you can’t self sponsor. Have you stated that is your intention on the application? If so they will either reject the application or once a digital or physical audit takes place refuse the application.
Can I ask if you nominated yourself as AO and Level 1 user?

yes i stated everything. but i want to know max how much time they can take or can we chase them?

It can take as long as they deem fit; whether justified to take that long or not is another thing entirely.
