UK student visa-Chicago

My story is not much different from others'. My documents were delivered to the UK Consulate in Chicago on Monday, September 8th and i haven't heard anything from the Consulate. From what i have read on this website so far, i gathered that the waiting time is 20 work days, which i only found out after submitting my documents. I was supposed to fly out on the 27th and really would love to make that flight. If anyone knows about an expediting service, please let me know. i already tried calling A Briggs and they said that they are not able to pull out applications and resubmit it in Chicago.

Thank you for reading,

I'm in exactly the same boat--the only difference is that my flight is October 3.  Crossing my fingers for the both of us.

I literally just got my "receipt" e-mail from the consulate in the minutes since my last post.  They said to expect 3 business days, which is just fine for me.  Hopefully yours will come a bit sooner.

Visa approved!  Very excited.  I hope yours is on its way too.

Congrats Dan!!!!
