Congrats! So, you did you spend above the priority fee? Just curious. I'm kind of hoping the ability to upload our documents is working by March. :) I'm hoping to see many more people who filed through the NY office to start getting their approvals soon. :) So happy for you though!
Even when life seems at it's most dark and despairing.. there is within the power to make change.

Congratulations, Cali2UKLady :).

Cali2UKLady used the $1900 Premium Service option where you submit the documents in person at one of the 10 premium service centres in major US cities.

The premium service option has been around for a year now, so it's not part of the new system of regular applications going through New York, though it does involve scanning the documents at the premium centre.

Fair enough. Thought that is what was meant by it, but wasn't sure. :) Hoping to see more of those who have gone through NY start to get approvals.

Yeah, it would be good to see some approvals soon :). I still don’t think we’ve had anyone get their decision yet since things changed to New York.

There is a plan for people to be able to upload documents instead of mailing them in?

Thank you everyone. I'm still in shock.

@elee27  I believe i was on a similar timeline as yours. I'm guessing to start counting once received in NY. But that's just my theory!

Cheers!

We went for the Premium service, in what must have been one of the last appointments - October 28th. We've still not even had the Documents Received email, so I'm starting to get really paranoid about it!  :(

We sent an email yesterday asking for confirmation of the status, so hopefully they're quicker responding to that...

Do you mean the $1900 service?  If so, that service is not being discontinued.  It's been taking 3-4 weeks for people to get the documents received emails.
