UK Visa Settlement Processing Time

Email to confirm visa issue: 13/04/12

Friday the 13th was my lucky visa day.

Congrats!

Yeah, I'm not really superstitious but I was certainly wondering at some point whether or not we would hear something today and what that might mean =P

Thanks aricarai. Your posts really helped me feel a lot more confident in my application (overkill ftw) so I owe at least part of our success to you! =]

Congrats to getting your visa   To those of you who have gotten yours, out of you who applied using priority processing through World Bridge?  Was it worth it?  I'll be applying VERY soon and wonder if its worth using it or going in the cue w/ everyone else.

Thanks!!

I used priority processing and the turnaround was less than 24 hours. Since I know just how crazy I can make myself while waiting, I'd say it was very worth it!

Ditto this! Definitely worth it for us. I would've been a moody magpie if I hadn't.

This is pretty much what it's good for. We knew it would be quick given everyone's times here lately but we figured, given that they got it on thursday and there were a few reasons why our case might have been complicated so we didn't expect to hear until at least next week, maybe tuesday or so we were amazed and very happy =]

You can still get a very quick turnaround without it but I don't regret spending the extra, one bit.

Today I got an email from the British Consulate saying they just opened the package and sorting out the papers. *tries to stay calm*

Well, we are on day 16 and the waiting is driving me loopy!!!! Obviously the processing times for us is not 2-3 days like it said when we checked the link they gave us, lol. We didn't know about paying the $300 for a faster decision, but never mind-what is meant to be-is meant to be!

My sentiments exactly 

Day 7 and still waiting, paid priority too. Must not go insane in the mean time!

Haha, thank you - I will probably need it after all this! Good luck

We are still waiting Tiye, how about you? This is killing me, some days are good, some bad, today is a bad one.

Bah, yes, ditto. I really thought they would have made a decision by now! Between the hours of 9am - 5pm (NY time) I am checking emails every 20 minutes. I think I may be verging on obsessed?!
