Hope you doing alright?
Please what do you think about the below.
So I contacted my MP via email to inform them about my circumstance, that is my pending application and that I was wondering if he will be kind enough to perhaps contact UKBA on my behalf regarding the status of my application.
A senior case worker replied me quite quickly to tell me that she had sent a enquiry on my behalf to home office but that it may take quite some time( she did say about 6 weeks maximum) to get a response so just in case I dont hear from her before then.
So this past weekend, I recieved an a letter from my MP's office( at first when I saw the letter indicating it had been sent from house of commons I was really scared) and it was a copy of the response home office had sent to him.
In the letter they indicated the type of application I had made( which I am happy about as they have at least established the basis on which I applied) and they indicated the date I submitted my application and also that it has been classed under the family category. Then they said in the letter that my case has not reached a ''natural'' point of consideration due to the high volume of applications they have in the family queue and the complexity of each case.(Which I find rather strange and worrisome) They did however mention in the letter that they will work towards reaching a decision as soon as possible along with apologies for the delay caused me and the MP.
The letter did sound polite and I was not expecting to recieve the letter via post and I thought that was quite thoughtful of my MP as well.
I am just really worried about the ambiguity of the term ''natural point of consideration''. I just hope and pray it doesnt get delayed anymore as my application will now be a year next month.
Sorry for my long post as usual but please let me know if you have any views on this, perhaps something to consider.
Thanks in advance.
Hello darling, hope you re well!!
I think its a standard procedure for MPs to send their response in the letter from the House of Commons ( I love the posh paper and envelope lol).
But I do see what you mean about your case not reaching the 'natural point of consideration' yet...
Well hopefully now that Home Office know that your MP is on the case they will be more proactive in processing your application.
Fingers crossed it wont be too long until you get a decision.
