Submitting an mp letter with your application or to expedite checking your outcome can also backfire by painting the wrong image of you as a person.

even if your mp isn't Josephine Teo, there's no harm in sounding out your MP. isn't that what they're there for—to understand the issues on the ground that their constituencies are facing?
what do u mean by no real connection? that's how professional networking works—if you don't have a direct connection with your target you start by reaching out to people in your network that have connections to your target, then you slowly work from there.
rather than just plainly dissing my suggestion, why don't you suggest alternatives or something more constructive? doing something is much better than just giving up or continue waiting passively.
