Sorry but what's the point of this. Aside from you feeling late applicants trying to cut the queue.

I think everyone trying to get it escalated knows this already.

At least I know. Due to other delays on certain documemts I had to apply in June. Somehow did not know about the delays and got only told at my biometrics appointment. I wasn't the only one that day in the office who didn't know. So at least that makes me feel less dumb.

And then shit really went down in my life in Belgium more than I give away on reddit. So yes we asked our MP for help. I do know the chances are really small and I try to stear my life in a safer direction here and do damage control where I can. And sweat out those 120 WD. I will most likely have to.

But just let us try to get it escalated. It's HO job to judge if we can "jump the queue" (as you said it) not yours.
