Looking for an industrial ware house 5000-6000 sqft

Following are some of the SWV cases (not ILR) I have known of people with complex issues emails. If everyone applying for SWV who has received a complex issues email can add their details, we can get an idea of how to wait this tough period out and what to do as the timeline becomes excruciatingly extended.

*(P) means Priority service used

Biometrics Issues email Further emails Approval
12/12/25 (P) 17/12/25 MP escalation 08/08/26
20/04/26(P) 22/04/26 None Waiting
23/07/26(P) 26/07/26 None Waiting
27/07/26(P) 29/07/26 None Waiting

This is a post for all SWV applicants who would like to share their experience. It is a collection of visa decision trend for skilled worker’s in country applications. All data excludes health care as it generally takes shorter + this data is only for inside UK applications.

Please add your case contributing to the trend checking.

Hi, did anyone here get the ‘complex issues’ email from the Home Office while applying for SWV and receive the visa eventually? Can you please share the timeline and whether or not you have been successful? My bio was on 23rd July, received the email on 26th July and silence since then. They didn’t ask for any additional documents. I am wondering how long can this take.
