A solicitor cannot do anything.

The rules are really designed in the favour of the Home Office.

The best approach is to use your MP to keep in regular contact with UKVI and apply gentle pressure to focus on your application.

If your local MP isn't doing enough for you, then why not use another MP in your township?

There is nothing stopping you from highlighting your case to an MP and see what they can do?

For them it's another secured vote in the future if they get you a result

We are an April application to and have gone past 120 days since Friday last week.

We received the 31 October email so we are hopeful still.

If we go past the 31st of October then something coordinated needs to happen and we can use 90+ day thread to think of some type of action

No I didn't fill that survey because its only for people who are received the decision last 3 months. Only those people can fill that survey. Firstly I thought HO made a decision and send that survey email. So when did you do the Biometrics and from which country you applied visa? When did you receive the survey email? I got it that survey email last Friday. Have you contacted HO after that survey email? What did they say? Hope we all get visa soon. Good luck.

My wife found a group on facebook who are waiting longer and the reason being their UK sponsor's are self employed and it's takes UKVI to perform more checks on them

I don't know if there is any truth in this but I can't find a reason yet to deny it either

But it’s possible you might be on to something.

Check using another area in a town who the MP is.

MP's represent people, don't let anybody dictate unnecessary rules to you.

Try speaking to another MP that is willing to listen.
