That's my next step to contact my MP as I have not seen any case that's taken this long, I wasnt sure which to contact first between the MP or lawyer.

I don't understand why the application has not been straightforward and they have not written to me explaining why. On their website it says if your application is complicated/ not straight forward they will write to you in the 12th week with the next step to take but heard nothing from them till date.

I was called on the 4th of December 2015 about attending an interview on the 8th of December. But 2months before then I was summoned for jury service at a crown court in London starting on the 7th of December and it was compulsory. So I told the contact about my jury summons and if it was possible to confirm with her on Monday when I get to court.
she said she will get back to me that she was just the person that books the interview and her boss had gone home (as this was past 6pm on a friday ). And that I might not even need to attend an interview.

On Tuesday the 8th of December she left me a VM saying her boss said I don't need to attend the interview as long as I send a copy of my jury summons/evidence of my jury service to an email which she provided. I sent it right away and a week after I got a reply saying it was received and it will be forwarded to the person in charge.

Since then everytime me or my spouse calls or emails all we get back ( from the third party) is we will escalate the matter and be patient. The only positive feedback so far was when we asked the third party to escalate and find out if they got the jury summons letter and they replied saying they did.
Other than that it has been "As previously adviced (ie on 16th Dec 2015 till the last response from them on the 16th March 2016) your application has not been straightforward. When I email them since the 16th of March all I get is be patient.

To be fair this has taken way too long, and I am sure this would have been granted earlier if I had attended the interview but that wasn't my fault I was summoned to be a jury for a trial and was told by them I do not need to attend the interview. SO PLS HOUSE WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE MP FIRST AND THEN LAWYER?
