Spousal Sponsorship Background Check Delays, Looking for Advice.

[zarabs]

I applied for outland spousal sponsorship for my husband in July 2024. His medical, criminality, and eligibility have all been completed, but his background check has been ongoing since November 2024, with no updates since then. I requested GCMS notes, which confirm he’s undergoing a comprehensive background check. I recently applied for a TRV so he could visit me while we wait, but it was rejected the next day. When I followed up with my MP, they said there’s nothing they can do right now because the background check is handled by a third party, and we need to wait until it's completed. Is it true that the MP can’t do anything at all at this point? Has anyone else experienced this?

MP is telling the truth they can’t do anything.
