UPS  JUST dropped off my package... 9:21 pm... that was a looooong five days (and even longer day starring out my window all day... I even went home from work early as to not miss them... )

but APPROVED :)  [smiley=deal2.gif]

No approval letter.. just the visa sticker... which is funny because.. i spent 17$ bucks on passport photos...and they used my biometrics photos instead.. oh boy.

Looking to fly out on Saturday!!

Congratulations, hawkphx :D!!

With a fiancé visa, you don't get a letter unless it's been refused... so no letter is a very good thing :).

(A spousal visa approval has a letter giving instructions on how to pick up the BRP once inside the UK).

Yeah, they don't use the passport photos at all - they've been using the biometrics photo for about 2 years now, and there's some debate as to whether you even need to include separate passport photos at all (but they're still on the list). Sorry you spent so much on them - there was actually no need to do that... regular, cheap US-size ones are fine to send.
