No offence taken. I completely understand. Honestly, I feel bad for everyone that is still waiting. There have been lots of people private messaging me with questions and I have been open in providing guidance. I have used the same approach (filing papers) the 2nd time, in both cases, <8 months. The first time, I never used an MP for any assistance. So the only explanation that I have is my filing method (even though some people say that makes no difference). The thing that is different, for me this time around, is that I used an MP and had their full support for my application. Although, I did have to sign some privacy papers and fax back to the office before they would assist me further. Eventually, I plan to go to a flower store with my wife once she's here. Plan to buy a dozen roses and some chocolates. Then drop it off at my MP office and meet everyone at that office including the woman that has been assisting me for the last 4 months. That office has been so amazing and supportive of our situation. I got more updates through the MP office than I would get through notes waiting for weeks on wards and it didn't cost me a dime to get updates. I highly recommend if you can find an MP office to assist you, do it; even if its from the opposition MP. I also never used a lawyer.
