Yes, I plan on using priority. I just want this over with! I dont know what the current processing time is with priority, but Im hoping its only going to be a few weeks, its the waiting that kills ya!
Priority processing is within 15 working days or less (unless you have criminal convictions or previous refused entries/visas to the UK, in which case you have to add on 2-4 weeks). Recently we have seen priority applications processed in just a couple of days.
Planning on using worldbridge it looks like.. Although the whole thing looks a bit confusing LOL
Worldbridge is your only option when it comes to priority processing - there is no other way to speed up the application process.
You can only purchase the priority service on the day that you physically mail your application documents to the consulate - so first you need to gather your documents, apply online, pay for the application and attend your biometrics appointment. Then your documents have to reach the consulate within 14 calendar days of the biometrics appointment - on the day you mail the documents (before mailing) you go to the Worldbridge website and purchase the priority service ($300 for settlement visas).
My worry right now is housing. My husband is renting a room from a private landlord. He has two rooms in the basement of the house with his own entrance. We really want to pick out a place together so Im hoping a letter from the lady he lives with saying I can be there till we find a place will be sufficient.
You need to include a letter from the landlord giving you permission to live in the property and his tenancy agreeement showing that he lives there (if you were living with his relatives, you would also need the land registry document and proof that the home will not be overcrowded with you living there too, but not sure if you will need either of these as well).
