Any updates from recent applicants?

While you can enter the UK at any time during the 33 months, if you leave it more than 3 months and 28 days, your future FLR(M) visa may expire before you can qualify to apply for ILR.

If that happens you would have to apply for an extra FLR(M), at a cost of probably over £1000 by then, to make up the difference in the time between your visa expiring and you being able to qualify for ILR.

So, it's up to you whether you would be willing to apply for an extra visa in 5 years' time because you left it more than 3 months and 28 days.

If you don't want to have to shell out all that extra money for it, then you should enter the UK within 3 months and 28 days of Feb 6th.

Thank you!  I'm glad I didn't make that up in my head. I will definitely make it to the UK before the 3 months and 28 days are up!  I can't believe how soon that will be!!!

Oh god, I got the email. I'm excited and freaked out. I just want to be with my husband. I'm gonna need some good vibes my way!

Could anyone please help me with the contact email address or ph no. for Sheffield for the confirmation that they have received the application.

We have received the confirmation from USPS that the application has been delivered (12th February 2015) but we have not received any confirmation from Sheffield that they have received the application.

I dont have an email address or phone number, sorry did you pay for priority? I think if you dont pay for priority then it can take a few weeks to get the email to say they are working on it.  Hope you hear soon.

You should get the email once your application gets assigned to an Entry Officer for processing.  I hope you hear soon.

You may have already done this, but have you checked your junk mail? I know my confirmation email went into my junk mail. Once I put it on my safelist, the rest of the emails went to my inbox.

I also know that when I was asked to confirm my shipping address there is an automated response that basically tells people not to contact them as they will contact you...in their own time. Hopefully you will hear soon! Good luck!

Not so sure about the priority thing.  I received the email from Sheffield the day after it arrived there and I had no priority service.

Yes, DO check your junk mail.

I used this https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/ when my package went astray in the post.  It is not cheap to talk to someone, but they take information from you and do what they can.

And mine took 5 days. I am sure others will have varying times as well because of the volume of applications coming in. Here is the link for processing times: https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice.gov.uk/y
It looks like they have updated with processing times from January.

Some people haven't gotten anything at all...not even a "decision has been made" email...the packet just showed up in the mail. I wouldn't be too concerned yet.

Finally it's here! I'm approved! Yes!
