No decision yet and no timeline for when, and no clue why it is considered not straightforward.
Definitely stinks, or maybe Sitel just don't have up to date information. It seems like you have been waiting an eternity! How many days has it now been for you?

Today is day 125. No one seems to know what is going on. My guess is that they have lost or screwed up something which is why we seem to be in this limbo where they aren't doing anything but repeating the mantra 'Not straightfoward, not straightfoward. We have 120 days.'

Our case has been escalated 4 times - but the Sitel lady today admitted that doesn't mean anything other than sending a note to UKVI to say it is overdue. She mentioned she sees cases that have been escalated 3 times, but rarely any with 4, which is what we are on (although we believe it is actually 5).

But UKVI explicitly stated the supporting documents we sent had been added to our case. So I guess we have incompetence, lying or a system that isn't up to date. None of which look good.

I think it's all three. I would badger the heck out of the MP and get them to badger the heck out of Sheffield. 120 days and not a peep from them is outrageous.

Yeah I've seen a few from different countries (Hong Kong, Morocco, Nigeria) that have taken 20 days but some from August / September that made priority applications are still waiting. Check the thread re: 2017 UK Spouse Visa STRICTLY TIMELINES ONLY - NO CHAT.

Hey guys,
When applying for your application there's a question about who's travelling with you?
So does that person have to travel with you or you can go with anyone you like

Can you believe I went into the Brisbane Australia VFS Global centre and scanned my documents, paid the priority etc on 22nd September 2017 and yesterday I received an email from the UK Govt Sheffield stating that they have received my receipt however have no supporting documents and could I please scan them myself within 5 days.

Where did they go?!?

Arghh!!! My scanner is so slow... but I managed to do it in under 6 hours! Now waiting....

Has anyone else had this problem?
