I am Dec 2016 applicant, I sent them an email about status and expediting the process or if they need any extra documents. I am just surprised they have not conducted the initial review, some people are getting DM in 2-4 months.
Dear Applicant,
Please be advised that your application awaits an initial review in London. Once this review has taken place, we will be in contact should any additional documentation be required.
Please note that, in fairness to all applicants including those who applied before you, we cannot expedite the processing of this application.
Yours Sincerely,
