As previously indicated, the UKBA website states:-
The service standards
We will:

¦decide 95% of postal applications within six months; and
¦decide 90% of applications made in person at a public enquiry office within 24 hours.

You visa status will remain just as it is, so theres no problem about that.
I know just how tough it can be, but try to remain calm and confident. There would need to be a very major immigration issue to be refused.
Hi Terpe,

Thanks for your reply... so it doesnt matter eventhough the visa is expired?

I just read about this on their website:

Progress enquiries

You do not need to contact us to check the progress of your application. We will contact you as soon as a decision has been made or if we require further information. Our staff cannot provide any information about your application if:

you applied less than 14 weeks ago in a category that does not require biometric information; or
you applied in a category that does require biometric information, and you provided your biometric information less than 14 weeks ago.
