Did you request for GCMS notes? if you haven't, pls do it asap. It takes 1 months. Requires $5, your sponsor can do it online, but will need consent approval from the applicant as well.
Get it and then you can see where the application is stuck. What level of security or background check has passed, what has not passed etc.

Perhaps then you can email your MP in detail with copy of GCMS notes - or even send a webform.
GCMS notes can be requested once the application pass the standard processing time ? currently the standard processing time is 13 months ? and its been 10 months and 6 days since I submitted my application.

Nope, no such thing. I ordered it few months back.

infact, while you will be filling the form, there is box to write some comments. Write in it, I'm concerned that the status of my application has been as Eligibility-in progress, for quite a few months. Do i need to provide any other documents?

Literally just waiting. No response. They also increased the processing times for Pakistani’s unfortunately.

Still awaiting for Eligibility and Background Check to be completed. Presently in progress status.

Where did you get the info from?
If you go the govt website and check processing times.

I’ve been monitoring both TRV and Spousal Sponsorship since July.

TRV was at 54 days, and now is at 57 days.

Outland Spousal Sponsorship was at 10 months, and now is at 13 months.

Outland Spousal sponsorship processing time decreased since last Nov, it was 17 - 20 months (Nov 2022) now its 13 months, I have never seen 10 months as watching the times since last year

The main thing of concern here is Spousal PR Visa - and that has been reduced from 16 months back in June/July, down to 13 months.
Regardless, processing time for Spousal PR is NOT SPECIFIC to any country.
