Your application is based on discretion so will usually take longer, ask your local MP to chase it.

They will be considering it under family life provisions, in your case the old dlr as you're after the extension to complete the 6 years to settlement as opposed to the new 10 year route.

From my understanding it with the team, but not with a caseworker who would make a decision
