Thanks all, it's been a long haul for us. My husband was posting in the boards several months ago, but I made him stop as he just got frustrated. We originally had a spouse visa refused in March because we never submitted the correct or enough supporting docs and there was an issue of my husbands employment going from self employed to trading as, which meant he never had a full years accounts in one job, even though he was the only employee. Therefor we had to wait until July to go the savings route. There are so many if's and but's when you're waiting to hear back. After my visa refusal I thought I'd not be allowed back in the Uk. We went anyway and breezed straight through, no questions asked, we left Uk again for Korea, upon our entry to the Uk after this trip the border guy said you've had a visa refused and need to sign this declaration. He took me to a desk where I signed this small form stating I know I'd been refused a visa, took about 5 minutes, then I was let through. Then we came back to the US beginning of July with all the original documents etc needed to apply again. Ours was a straight forward refusal for first visa, this is why we decided to pay priority even though it says don't. However if you read the wording carefully, it says your package will still be priority, but the Eco may take longer checking it out because of the prior refusal.
Now we are happy, we are heading back this Sunday, my husband will make his operation for kidney stones and I can start my new job.
It's been a roller coaster of a ride, I hope everyone else receives good news soon, especially the ones who've been waiting 50 plus days.
