Applied(Priority) plus Biometrics:  27th April 2017

Documents send 4th May 2017

Documents Confirmation email from Sheffield received 5th May

Emailed MP on 20th June 2017

MP replied on 30th June 2017: we have contacted the Home office on your behalf, your case was worked on 29th June but Home office are still waiting for some checks to come back, they are not at liberty to say what these checks are.


Decision email: Not yet received

Passport returned: not yet received

Crazy they start working on June applications and some of May applications still on hold
Can't understand the Ukvi

Welcome Kash, added you on to the timeline. Good luck!.  Fairly certain the "doing checks" line is b/s.   It seems they always b/s the MPs with lines line "some docs missing" or "doing some checks".

Has anyone had trouble with UKVI delaying shipment of documents back?  I received my decision email last friday  June 30th and have still not received shipping confirmation.  The UPS tracking number says it has not yet been dispatched.  I can't believe this is also delayed!

I'm hoping to be on a plane by next week Thursday.  My doctor has given me a release letter that is only good for 10 days to travel (now 28 weeks pregnant). I can't help it be really annoyed and frustrated with the situation.

It does happen, unfortunately.

Hopefully today is your day.  UPS usually collects around 5pm UK time.

Forgive me for updating so late but I've been a bit overwhelmed.

On Monday I woke up and checked the tracker and it said, "Decided" on July 1st. Later that same day (July 3rd) I got both the decision email + tracking information email from Sheffield. I haven't slept in I don't know how many days and I literally sat at the front door and ran down the drive when I saw the UPS truck come down the block.

It's a YES, thank God!

I can't explain how nervous and scared I've been - but FINALLY after 6 months away from my child and husband, it's a yes! Bittersweet because my parents are so sad I'm leaving "already"!

I want to thank each and every one of you that I spoke to here, you are all in my prayers. You are amazing, wonderful people who helped keep me sane, gave great advice, and helped me with numbers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Thank you for all the support and advice, you're a star!

So happy to hear this.  When are you flying out?

Congratulations!

So my initial date I wanted to travel was May 29, but my vignette says July 9 onwards. I'm a mess right now, so I'll try and book whenever is cheapest.

Do you guys know if I can travel out of the UK once I collect my BRP?
