Fantastic news!

Getting there!

Question; do we expect to receive any further correspondence from Sheffield?  i.e the shipment details and does the decision letter and passport normally be shipped the same day the "decision" mail is sent?  Thank you!

No, you won't receive anything else.

If you prepaid your shipping with VFS, you can watch the UPS site for movement on the package.  With a bit of luck it will get sent today.  It doesn't always get sent the same day.  Some people have had frustrating waits before seeing movement.  Others look to see that it actually shipped a day or two before getting the email!  It's definitely a crap shoot with Sheffield.   

If you didn't prepay, you should be able to look at your UPS account and find tracking information there.

Try to relax over the next few days.  I think from when the email is sent and the package received is the hardest time for most!

Thanks you!  Yes we prepaid the shipping on the VFS website (UPS Express Saver) so not sure the time line from when its dispatched to actually receiving it.

It's usually two days.  May be a bit slower due to the holidays.  If you look at the UPS website, it should give your delivery date.

Thank you, so far no movement on the website 😒

Our package is now with UPS but they giving Tuesday for delivery date.  I thought buying the courier online was 2 days?

That will be two days (business days):  Friday and Tuesday.  Saturday's and Sunday's don't count.  Monday is a holiday.  Luckily it's not being shipped to the UK, as Tuesday is a holiday here too!

Great news that it got in the mail today!
