I copied in Mrs May when I first got my MP involved but of course her office didn't have the courtesy to even acknowledge my e mail let alone say they were looking into this unacceptable delay. I don't feel the department will ever be fit for purpose, after all for many of us there are no complications in our applications so what are they trying to achieve by making genuine applicants wait such a ridiculously long time and cause anxiety to all concerned by their inefficiency and bloody mindedness.
