Tier 1 Visa, trying to get back to London

Trying to get back to London on a visa for Tier 1 ( was Highly Skilled ). They are tough to work with, I sent my application in 9 weeks and didn't hear a single word.

To help out, there is a nice community on trackit - http://www.trackitt.com/uk-immigration-trackers/hsmp-application/, where you can see how long applications are taking.
