Has anyone here applied through the London Visa Office and their application has taken over a year to finalize??? This is ridiculous! I've done everything . . . I even got in contact with my MP and there's no changes . . . we're just lbeing eft in the dark.

As can be seen from my signature below, my husband's application will be in process at the London Visa office for one year on January 8. After one year, don't they HAVE to give us a decision??? This is just not fair!
