Congrats!

Based on my tracking info, it seems like their pick up is at around 5 UK time, so hopefully you'll see movement today!

Shipping also seems to be faster than I expected. I only got my confirmation yesterday and it's supposed to be delivered today.

I am currently very nervously waiting for UPS. Fingers crossed it's all right for mine and everyone else's!

My UPS tracking number indicates it'll arrive tomorrow, so also overnight.  I'm working and so is everyone else but my mom is a teacher and is rushing to the house after work to hopefully sign for the package--otherwise she said she'll try to chase them down at the UPS facility.  We've done this before with other UPS packages but hopefully they'll just come by in the later afternoon when she's already home. 

I had read stories here about people getting the email and then seeing no movement on their tracking, so it's a relief it went out just a few hours later!

Well that is if I make it back in time for March 10th, lol.

You'll be fine.  They appear to be clearing the backlog all of a sudden!

Unfortunately I think the days of quick processing times are coming to an end.  I have a feeling this summer could be worse than last summer!

For anyone wondering about shipping timelines, UPS has had a mechanical failure in Koeln and now has NO scheduled delivery.  I'm on hold with them right now but they're saying Monday  >:(

I saw your post yesterday and wanted to congratulate you on at least finally receiving your decision email. The fact that you applied a few days before I did made me feel better about waiting for my response. I typically check my emails as soon as I wake up but seeing as it's Saturday I thought there'd be no point. But after 2 months of waiting we received our decision email today too! I literally jumped up and down for joy in my kitchen from the excitement when I saw the email :D now to wait and hope that it all went well. So in terms of your parcel- there's no update on the website right? I'm wondering if they won't get mine ready until Monday and should expect Wednesday? At the moment the ups website just says it hasn't been received in their sorting location yet

YAY!! Congrats!

Did you receive the followup email with your tracking, or do you have your tracking number from the return label handy?  Mine showed no update until it was picked up, and it was picked up at about 7pm local time on Thursday from Sheffield.  I'm guessing they don't have pickups on Saturdays.  I use FedEx every day at work and even though we process orders then we don't have pickups, so I'm guessing it works the same for UPS.  Hopefully you will not have a mechanical failure on your UPS plane.  Mine is finally in the US but it's currently in Kentucky and scheduled to come to me in NY on Monday.  The waiting is very hard, especially when originally it indicated I would have a Friday delivery!

When did you apply? I applied nov 17 and still haven't received an form of communication. I noticed a few people that applied after me that got decisions too but I still haven't heard anything. When I try track it o get that General no updates email. Congratulations to you.

What part was November 17?  Online application, biometrics, package received, or confirmation of receipt email?

Confirmation of receipt November 17th
Hm.  Yours arrived just 2 days before mine.  I bet you'll hear this week.  This week is 12 weeks so I bet they'll want to process it within that time frame.

This past Thursday.  Am still waiting for the package so I don't know the decision, but that's not UKVI's fault, it's UPS's.
