Skilled Worker Visa Delay After Home Office Interview inside uk– Any Advice?
My application timeline is as follows:
31 March 2026: Submitted my Skilled Worker visa application using the priority service.
11 April 2026: Received a complex case email from the Home Office.
3 June 2026: Contacted my MP regarding the delay.
23 June 2026: Received an interview invitation from the Home Office.
26 June 2026: Received a response from my MP regarding the interview.
27 July 2026: Attended and completed the Home Office interview.
27 August 2026: Submitted a formal complaint to UKVI.
28 August 2026: My MP made a further enquiry with the Home Office regarding my application.
23 September 2026: Received an update through my MP confirming that UKVI was investigating my complaint and aimed to respond by 25 September 2026.
28 September 2026: Sent a Pre-Action Protocol (PAP) letter regarding the continued delay.
4 October 2026: Still no visa decision, no substantive response to my formal complaint, and no response to my PAP letter.
Despite using the priority service, I have now been waiting for over six months. I have completed the Home Office interview and followed up through my MP, submitted a formal complaint, and sent a PAP letter.
Has anyone experienced a similar delay after a Home Office interview for a Skilled Worker visa?
Did you receive a decision after sending a PAP letter, and how long did it take? Is there anything else I should do at this stage, or should I wait for a response to the PAP letter?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
