I am counting the day the poster said Sheffield sent them a confirmation e-mail -- and my business day counting should be accurate -- accounting for holidays etc. I am basically done with my semester (I teach/study), and am waiting to join my husband...so this is how I'm passing my time

You're amazing!! I'll throw my info in here for you too, I first posted in May. Technically I received my received confirmation email on April 30th but I had to email them back with more information so I was going off of may 2nd as my countdown date since that was a Sunday and Monday was a bank holiday  -- see below

Woo hoo! You rock, my fellow future Glaswegian. All I knew was to keep an eagle eye on anxiousandwaiting. Now I can stalk everyone. I am starting to feel the excitement/anxiety. I am due to receive my kids' British passports today and tomorrow (DHL texted me) so it's all starting to get realllly real!

Okay I went to my local UPS and they gave me a phone number to call once it's actually in transit to request the change of address (just thinking I'll have it be sent to a friend's house). They also said I could call VFS but I don't know how I would even contact them...

From the VFS website:
That's the same number UPS gave me. So I guess I'll just wait until I get the decision email from Sheffield and then call UPS. Thanks for your help guys

That's what I figured might happen since someone else said they couldn't change anything until they actually got the confirmation that the visa had shipped, but I'm glad you've updated us! A lot of people have been asking about it XD

Love seeing that all i one place!

Can you please add my son's timeline please

So pleased to have found this forum! Was getting so stressed not hearing anything, feel better knowing priority are taking 20+ w/d to hear.

Do we know any timescales from non-priority applicants? Had a conformation email on 20/04.2017

Looks like your son is just a couple days ahead of me. People whose documents were received at the beginning of April are starting to hear back about decisions so hopefully we will hear soon! Did your son do priority?

Not really. We know that the end of February non-priority apps have (mostly) gotten their decisions. A few remain though.

We don't have anyone who got a confirmation from Sheffield in early March; but based on late February data, it's taking about 10.5 weeks. Like nonmerci, I've been mathing.

Our little non-priority group is right here if you wanna check: http://talk.uk-yankee.com/index.php?topic=90536.0

Edit  

Thank you! Regret not doing priority now 

I totally understand that....

Yes he did apply priority! The wait is torturous for them!

So AWESOME! You're a sweetie for doing that! Must have taken some time. It's nice to see everyone's laid out in one spot.

Is the decision date for nonmerci's list the date of decision email or visa received?
