Any updates from recent applicants?

Assuming I'm not denied because my application didn't get to Sheffield within 2 weeks of having my biometrics taken

FutureMrsHandy - I saw your post on the other board & I followed the link ksand24  posted and read it word for word .... I honestly believe that it would have said something other then "possible delay" or how ever they worded it if they were going to decline, refuse or make you resubmit your application just because it was originally sent to the other location ... Before we submitted ours, hubby and I had a huge debate (via text and skype, which is always a fun thing to do .. Not) on where to send it ... I had read New York but he kept saying Sheffield ...  I am so very thankful I listened to him ...
I might not be the right person to offer this advice, mainly because I tend to over analyze and think the worst on everything... And I know this has been so frustrating for you, especially when you see others getting approved and you are still waiting ... but Since you changed it to priority, I honestly believe you will be getting your Approval decision any day now ... And then you will be on your way to the UK to plan your wedding and start your life with your hubby ....

FutureMrsHandy.

From what I've experienced, they're not out to get you or catch you out.

Just relax, it'll be fine. Send them an email, they seem to be pretty good with replying in a couple of days. Express you're concerned and say why and they'll put you at ease.

I'm sure everything is fine 

NMF921 and Ben1989 thank you so much for your positivity, it helps (:

I just can't shake the feeling that all my fiancés money will have just gone to waste and I'll be refused my visa... I emailed them last night, so hopefully I hear something positive straight from the horses mouth early in the morning tomorrow...

You'll see FutureMrsHandy, soon you'll have that pretty yellow visa stuck in your passport and will be on your way making all kinds of wedding plans

Anyone else notice that the site was down for a while? I tweeted them when I first realized it and brought it to their attention, apparently they had no idea... Good thing it's sorted now!(:

Yeah ... LOL, I was having some major withdrawals .... I posted on the Face book page, but I don't think anyone ever monitors it there because I never see any updates or anything ...

So was I!! Haha I was just like "omg what's happening?!?" I seriously kept trying to load it every 5 minutes...
Thankfully they saw my tweet to them!

Btw NMF921, let me know if or when you book through that GetAwayASAP site and how it goes for you. I'm curious if it's a good site for booking...

Hahaha, I noticed, too. Think we are obsessed much?

I hope another one of us gets an email tomorrow ::fingers crossed::

NatCatCole, I will be the first to admit that I definitely am obsessed with this forum! Especially with all the worry and questions I have right now waiting for my visa!

I'm hoping I hear something tomorrow, atleast to my inquiry about my whole dilemma with sending it to the wrong place, blah blah blah... Lol

Sorry, MrsHandy, I think I missed that. Did you send your paperwork to the wrong place? Don't forget mine went to NY first, too. OOOPS!!

Yeah I sent my application to NY by mistake, but it took them  AN ENTIRE MONTH to return it to me... Then I had to run out that Monday to ship it immediately to Sheffield hoping it would be okay and not result in an immediate refusal for not submitting it within the 2 week deadline from having my biometrics done...

How long did it take for them to get yours back to you? Did you get the letter telling you to send it to Sheffield?

I got one and that's all it said, was to send it to Sheffield, and it didn't have any other info indicating I needed to do anything else, so that's all I did was mail it to them with that letter they sent...

^ totally obsessed ...

FutureMrsHandy - Im waiting for hubby to finish his double shifts so I can talk to him about it ... I stayed up to the wee hours of the morning looking for any info on that site ... And it's about even on good & bad reviews... Some highly praise it and others say they will never use it again... So I'm torn on what to do. I really want to try to save as much money as I can on my flight because we are booked for a cruise in August & I wanna finish paying that off... But I don't want to do a flight with a massive lay over somewhere, there was one I saw with a 19 hour layover in Los Angeles ... I grew up in LA and I have no desire to spend that much time there ever again ... or I don't want one that I have to get the connecting flight in Russia or Germany (yes, I have come across a few flights like that too) ... I must have downloaded at least 10 different types of travel apps last night, And to be honest, that one had the best fares .... So frustrating ... Aarrrggghhhhh ....

You should call the air line and ask them if you were to book a flight with a long layover, if there was a chance you could be bumped onto an earlier flight, I've done that before with United and not been charged anything as I was basically on standby, which never causes problems
So it's worth calling and asking about that (:
Especially if you check the flights on the site, like with united, you can see what seats are still open on flights...

And yeah I've seen some with international layovers which I'm not keen on at all! I would be too nervous for some reason! Lol Id rather stick with US or even Canadian layovers
But, all of the flights I've been on have just had one lay over in Houston

And thirdly, I googled reviews on some of those travel companies and some of the reviews  (like on tripadvisor)  and the "good reviews" are posted by people who only ever made one review (which was that glowing review about the company) and that just seemed kinda fishy to me...
