It's been a crazy few weeks and I've not been on here.  I logged on to see how you were getting on Dani and I'm totally gutted for you that it's still rumbling on.

Hoping and wishing you have a speedy resolution!!

Today marks 35 working days from the day Sheffield received my documents. They've got till Wednesday to respond to my MP's office, though I'm not sure if anyone is held accountable if they don't...

I keep checking this thread in hopes that you've (finally) gotten your approval. It is absolutely insane to me that they offered a "gold" service and you are getting anything but.

Pretty crazy right? I just have to keep hoping that an approval eventually comes through.

I know I meet the requirements and I'm 99% sure I backed it up properly in my supporting documents. Mostly I'm worried about the crappy copies VFS scanned over not being sufficient. They're such sticklers for originals (which I did bring to my appointment after going to great lengths to obtain  :-\\\\).

Nope, sorry guys (was very happy to see your good news though @Soccer4ja9!).

Hopefully I hear from the MP's office tomorrow or by Thursday as the 5 business days for Sheffield to check into my application will be up. Again though, I don't know how obligated Sheffield is to that timeframe.  :-\\\\

As always, I will update with any news the moment it comes. Something's gotta give here...

Thank you so much!

I'll email VFS when they're in the office to find out if it's an approval and when I can collect my passport.
