You are right. Sometimes trying to transfer the file might end up delaying the process even further. So we cant really say if thats a good option.Usually the MP is helping only in hard cases or overdue applications. I was surprised to hear they are getting involved with someone else application from September (not 100% sure, but it wasn't late one). I want to see if that helped the person or not. In some cases, if they are transferring files to other CPC it takes months and delays the process even further.
