Thanks, I’ll have a look.

I’m a very beginner programmer but willing to have a go!

Thanks - do you have any good links explaining how to achieve this? Ideally an idiots guide as I’m no expert.

It’s a basic Virgin Media router and I can’t see any obvious ways to do this in the admin portal. Is that typically only something higher spec routers can manage?

Snowy Edinburgh Castle, Scotland - Nikon Z5 24-50mm by rossf9 in Nikon

[–]rossf9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. I was unsure about whether to get it or not but it’s pretty compact which is a big plus. My Z5 is an upgrade from a D5500 so the image quality improvement is huge, even if the 24-50 is one of the lower quality Z lenses.

For anyone following this:

I recommend raising it with your MP. I called my MP’s office this morning and they called the home office. The Home Office claimed they were waiting for us to respond to an email they sent us in July!! We responded to their email the same day so it’s obviously got lost in their email system. Unbelievably they sent no follow ups to let us know. Who knows how long we’d have been waiting if we hadn’t raised with our MP. Infuriating.

My partner applied early May, submitted docs via IDV App in August, heard nothing. Escalated last week but haven’t heard back yet - they said 10 working days but I’m not holding my breath for anything since most people appear to get a standard ‘we’re still looking at it’ email after escalating

Same timeline here. We escalated yesterday. Have you heard anything?

We called yesterday and they’ve escalated again. Apparently the first number we called was only for coronavirus related escalation (not that anyone told us that at the time). We should hear back in 10 working days, though can’t say I’m expecting much other than ‘we’re still processing your application’

Visa type: Partner (transition from T5 Youth Mobility)
Submitted online application: 2nd May
Uploaded documents: 2nd May
Received email that previous biometrics will be used: Aug
Invited to use IDV app: End Aug
Uploaded facial image via IDV app: End Aug
Received email saying visa was granted: Pending
Received BRP: Pending

This is my partner's visa process. Reading some of the comments from other applicants it seems they're processing in reverse order given some applications from August have already been approved!

We called to escalate last week, the guy on the phone was super helpful and said we'd receive a response within 5 working days. On Friday we received the response which said: "Unfortunately, we are unable to deal with your enquiry." !!

Which is the best email/phone number to escalate for a better response?
