Welcome to the April waiting room! Fingers crossed you hear back soon and give the rest of us some hope!

Keep having dreams that I check my email and they are either requesting more documents OR that they have made a decision.
I am always disappointed when I wake up

Every few minutes, I am checking my email and this threads for some updates on the April applications. Still have hope some early April applicants will get a response this week!

Me too haha. I am irrationally upset at the fact that someone signed for my package on Monday and I still haven't gotten an email confirmation yet. It gives me nightmares

Me too! or even some of the later Marches..but silence! Let's go!

The beginning of April priority apps should be hearing back about now. Mine is gonna be at least another week or 2 I'm thinking.

Same! I keep checking my email and the forums I follow hoping to hear SOMETHING. I really thought that I would hear something this week, but it's looking less and less likely

Posted this in the march timeline too by accident.

Draw strength from this my fellow visa applicants. Decisions are getting made! It looks like priority is hitting decision time about 22 working days ahead of the application getting received. Our case was as clean and straightforward as it can get. No prior visa refusals, no criminal record stuff to declare, very simple 6 months payslips for financial requirement assessment etc so if you are still waiting don't worry chances are you'll hear very soon or yours needs a little more time to assess!

Your decision is coming!!! Stay strong and hang in there, the best things in life are usually the hardest to get, this is life's test. You do not know it yet, but there is a date, at some point down the line, already set when you eventually receive that decision made e-mail. Each day that goes by is a day closer to that decision-made e-mail day. Keep going, I am praying for all of you, I would not wish this pain on any one.

YAY! Thank you for the encouragement.

One thing I would say is that they did not call up my employer to check if I worked at the company. I work in a relatively small company, open plan office with about 12 people in it, all very close. They would have told me if someone from UKVI called.

Should I read anything in to this? I provided a lot of evidence of my employment.

Nope.  It's rare for them to contact your employer.

I've never heard of UKVI contacting an employer before, so there's nothing to read into.

It's your responsibility to provide the sufficient evidence to prove you work there... they won't chase up the employer to check. They just need to be able to look at your documents, see the job contract, payslips, employer letter and job contract, and then tick a box to say you meet the financial requirement.

Hooray! Glad we have an answer coming soon for you.

But, yikes. March 24? I was a month after that. I'm going to be waiting for a while...let's hope we get others with answers soon.

Decisions for priority are being made in about 22 working days from the date the application was received by Sheffield. Im about a week ahead of you. You should hear around the beginning of June/ end of May hopefully!
