Can I ask if anyone has experienced a refusal on their DCF request for the exceptional circumstances? It has now been 3 weeks since I sent my submission request to the London embassy and I haven’t heard anything from them. I’m now wondering if we could have been rejected and not notified? Hopefully they would send over an update by email even if the submission was rejected. I’m a US citizen and need to get home with my British husband so I can resume a job with my parent’s business. Perhaps that isn't considered a legitimate reason for exceptional circumstances as it’s a family connection, but we were hoping it would be. Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated!
