I am an international student and my wife applied SOWP from Nepal on Sep 16 (paper application). The processing time has be fluctuating between 8 and 10 weeks. It is now 9 weeks. It has been over 14 weeks for our case. We received a request to do medical on Nov 1, we did medical and medical was approved on Nov 7. We received a correspondence of biometrics on Nov 11.
In all the case we have read about, the decision is made in a few days after medical is approved. It is almost 2 months since that for us.
We sent a webform requesting an update almost 1 month ago. No update. We have sent another one last week. Haven't heard back.
We have heard that contacting our local MP and requesting they look into our application has helped. Do you think we should do that? Are international students eligible to do that?
