Can't sleep! Been up since 3am  ??? Going to see if I can pick it up from ups on my way to work. I can't wait a whole day!!
I hope you’re able to do that! I called last week and they said I couldn’t pick it up until after they’ve attempted to make delivery. Apparently there is no option for pick up ahead of delivery for this type of shipment. May just have to sit tight! We’re almost there 🤞

Mine too won’t get home from work to open it until after 7pm. Long day ahead! When do you hope to get to the U.K.?

I don't work today so that's a good thing lol. I'll be checking like all day haha. I plan to leave in probably 2 weeks. Flights are super expensive now because of summer time though. What about you? Atleast you have something to look forward to when you come home.

I teach 1st grade (same school as my husband actually) and its the last week of school with a class of tired but excited 7yr olds. Wish me luck haha
My husband, daughter and I all plan to leave the usa on june 12th.
Glad I have you guys to talk to at 5am ;D

There will be someone home to receive the package. I heard they just leave it outside otherwise. Such a shame considering the package contains our passports!

We’ve got a plan A and plan B. Plan A is I leave for U.K. this coming Sunday. Plan B (if it’s a refusal), is my husband comes to the US on Friday for a while.

Where are you flying out of? I live in Philadelphia and flights to the U.K. from here are always at least £250 more expensive than flying out of JFK. If you can, it might be worth checking nearby airports for better deals. There’s a flight from JFK on Sunday for only £150! Sill comes out cheaper to buy a $50 Amtrak ticket to catch that flight than spend hundreds more for my local airport!

Also check skyscanner!! We always use that.

Its crazy to think they dont require a signature but I guess that means if im not home before they deliver i don't have to chase the package to the ups store....
Can't believe all this waiting will be over today. The suspense is killing me! Hope your day goes quickly!!!

New update shows April's visa processing times according to UK Gov website: https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice.gov.uk/y/united-states/settlement-visas/settlement

Is it just me or does this seem toooooo quick for reality?! I know they take out refusals and most people are priority etc, but still seems not right?

They look right to me.

80ish percent in 30 days would be applications that got the “application received” email in mid Feb to mid March.

98% in 60 days would be applications that got the received email in January.
