Yeah, the wait has been hard going so far. I wish we had gone priority but no surprises, the website wasn't working the days we needed to do it!!

Hopefully you hear soon sammy18. I'd seen warecat got the decision email too, hopefully passport has arrived with a visa in it would love to hear. We need positive stories to help keep us going through the waiting, so my fingers are crossed.
