Thanks Larrabee  :)
No, no criminal history, thankfully just me being over cautious. I guess I'm like most people on here, very anxious to get everything right first time.

I'd be worried if you weren't worried!   ;)

Yes, it should be settlement, settlement, husband as your husband is the applicant.

Oh good!  :D 
I would do the shipping and priority part now. Sometimes it can take a while for the labels to arrive to you.  :)

It's confusing on the website because the same page deals with settlement and non-settlement applications as well as shipping and priority service information.

The shipping labels are nothing to do with the priority service.

You purchase priority for $700 this is in addition to the fee for shipping.

Round trip shipping is $227

As larrabee said, you need to purchase both if you want the shipping and priority:

Priority processing gets your application put to the front of the line AFTER you have shipped it.

The shipping labels are just UPS shipping to get the application to Sheffield and have nothing to do with the priority service.

Settlement Priority Processing = $700

Return shipping only = $141
Round trip shipping = $227

Total with round trip shipping = $927
Or with return shipping only = $841

Hi Larrabee and Ksand24  :)
Yep I saw all of that this morning, I guess I was exhausted yesterday and should probably have left that part till this morning. ..happily it's done correctly now and I've paid for the round trip courier service along with the priority fee ...total $927

Glad you got it sorted :).

I know there have been some glitches in the website recently and some people have found that if they purchase one (either shipping or priority) and then try to go back into the site and purchase the other, it won't let them do it.

Yes that site is not the easiest I've ever encountered 🤔 have to say you certainly need perseverance to endure this whole experience lol 😄
I was very fortunate it let me get back on and rectify matters so speedily this morning.
