You're welcome brother. I'm glad one of us have come to the end of the process. Have a safe journey & enjoy the good times ahead.

Thank you for the positive words.

I've been lurking for a while but wanted to say hi and throw my hat into the non-priority spousal visa ring.  I'm the UK citizen, so the application is for my husband and two kids. 

We're in Australia, so the system might be a little different here.

Biometrics - 26 September
Docs received at scanning company in Sydney - 29 September (they send scans to Sheffield and hang onto the documents until our visas come back)
Confirmation email - none
Paid email just to check that they had actually received our docs and $10,500 application fee - 27 October
Confirmation of receipt - 27 October
And....waiting

Our documents will come back via Australia Post with no confirmation email, as far as I can tell from the experience of other Aussies. 

Nice to be in this with you all, but looking forward to the day when we can all move on from this thread!

Just officially adding my name to the group!

Thanks to anyone and everyone who have helped me the few times I hopped on for help. This forum is seriously a miracle!

My decision made email came today along with a second email telling me the documents are shipping. I prepaid the UPS international shipping label but can't see any tracking info yet. This email came only 36 days from the date of the application's arrival in Sheffield. And here I was hunkering down for the long wait!

Mine was live around 3 am their time. Congrats!
