We just recieved the decision made email!! I thought my nerves would have calmed down when we recieved it but it has just skyrocketed! Now I understand what everyone else means by saying this part is actually worse!

Biometric Appointment: 26th April
Application received by Sheffield: 30th April
Decision made email: 16th July

I work that out to be 56 working days..., I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing but I'm a bag of nerves right now!
Yay! Congratulations, fingers crossed for good news!

Congratulations!  ;D You are right though, the nerves are worse at this stage! But don't worry, that is normal!

Hey everyone, new here so I thought I would add my ongoing timeline!

Fiancé Visa (non-priority)
Biometrics Appointment: April 17
Documents shipped: April 17
Received by Sheffield: April 23
Non-straightforward email: NA
Decision email: NA (Day 59 as of this posting)
Result: NA

I’m hoping to hear back very soon, and wishing everyone luck. Congrats to NervyaF on the decision email!

It’s a bit worrying that it came before mine as my application was received a week before, I hope that’s not a bad omen, and more just how disorganized they seem to be. I must have got put into the slow pile  ;)

Thanks! :)

Hi rkounnas, welcome!  :)

It's incredibly frustrating but decisions coming out of turn is just the way they do things at UKVI. Definitely don't read anything into it!

Tracking updates around 6pm/7pm UK time.  They only collect once per day. 

Sometimes the package ships the same day you get the email, sometimes it takes a couple of days.

We're expecting our package to arrive today from Sheffield. I have literally been following it on the UPS tracking website since I woke up. Only a few hours to go! I hope everyone else's have been coming back okay, and you are all getting the big approval!
