Is there a specific window of time they tend to send emails or is it throughout the U.K. business day? I got my ECO email at noon their time so I always feel like I’m going to wake up to an email, but I’m hoping I could still get it later today with this flurry happening.

Hi everyone!

Woke up to an email this morning that my application has been received and is being prepared for consideration by and Entry Clearance Officer. Yay! Now I'm just in prayer mode and sending out all kind of good, positive vibes even though last night I felt like I was gonna throw up just thinking about all of this stuff. Anyway, here's my timeline thus far...

Application type: Priority settlement visa/wife
Married: 17 May 2018
Online application submitted: 6 Aug 2018
Biometrics & Docs sent: 9 Aug 2018
UPS delivery to Sheffield: 13 Aug 2018
Email - application received/being prepped by ECO: 15 Aug 2018

Looks like steady progress at the start... Let's hope it stays that way!

Anyone have a few extra crossed fingers I can borrow??   [smiley=laugh3.gif]

Now you've got the email, try to relax a bit.  :) The others are right, the longer the wait goes on, the more anxious you will become so at least for the first few weeks, try not to think about it because it's only sitting somewhere in a pile, doing nothing all that time!
