Hi guys,

So my husband decided to email visa rubbish 3rd party for an "update" lol. And they emailed back saying:

It “might” be true in that a decision has been made but I find it unbelievable that this call centre would know anything at all about the status of your file from their end. I say it might be true also because when I got my approval letter, it was dated 10 days before Sheffield emailed me the decision made email. So perhaps there is a delay in relaying the email to the applicant. Unfortunately the only email that matters is the official decision made email from Sheffield. Full stop :-/

It could be right it could be wrong.  We've seen both.

That's the problem with the "line" (I refuse to call them a helpline).  Until the decision made email has been received, all bets are off.

But fingers crossed they are right and you get your email today.  If you don't have an email today, I'd try to pretend they didn't tell you anything.  You'll just drive yourself crazy otherwise.

Ok thank you, I highly doubt it's time yet as we're only on day 51. There's people on here that are ahead of us in the queue and should get their decision first

Don't get your hopes up, but how great it would be if they are right this time! 

It's approved! Vignette starts tomorrow!

Im so excited and can't thank you guys enough for the support!

I was wondering if I was supposed to receive a letter of some sorts to show the entry clearance officer at the border. I saw the spousal visas come with some type of letter, but are fiancé visas diffrent because they're multiple entry?

With fiance visas the sticker *is* your 6 month visa. With settlement visas they are only good for 30 days until you pick up your BRP, and that is your visa.

Congrats!!
