Hello ... new to this forum but read loads on here before my Scottish fiance and I decided to throw our hat in the visa ring.  So, I've joined the priority processing queue.

I've put a 30 business day countdown on my tablet and just waiting with fingers crossed like all of us are! 

Here's hoping for speedy visa processing for all!!

Welcome dawn73 and good luck with the application!

Yes!!! I hope we get nothing but a wave of good news this week. We’re going onto BD 50 for us this week. I’m flying to Tennessee the following week to stay with friends and hope that there’s either good news to celebrate or to hopefully wait to hear a response. COME ON MARCH!!!!

I got my Application Received Email this morning. It's not much, but it's something. When I see people on BD 49 & 50, it makes me want to cry! I was really hoping that paying the priority service would make things faster, but it doesn't really seem too! Fingers crossed for everyone that everyone in Sheffield gets their fingers out & get our applications processed!!!

So long as you don't get the dreaded "not straight forward" email, your application *should* be processed in about half the time of a non-priority application.  Unfortunately our non-priority folks have been waiting some time!
