@newgirl have you got in contact with your MP? I emailed mine on friday and they responded very quickly saying they had been in touch with the Visa and Immigration service with regards to my application and to update them later this week. They noted that it was urgent for me.
We are due to travel on 1 August and submitted our daughters renewal to 1 July, it went to Durham. From what i have found on this forum, there is no logic to applications, it is purely luck as one child renewal (sent to Liverpool) turned round in 1 week.
I have a call back request from the processing team, a helpful guy at the call centre arranged this for me as he couldn’t track everything, it will be within 48 hours apparently – if you haven’t spoke to this team try getting through to them. I’ll update when i hear from them.
Good luck!!
