In the FB group I'm in, there are a few that have still gotten them within the 30WD. I'm hoping they are nearly through any backlogs due the scanning issues in NY and can get back to the normal processing times.
Even when life seems at it's most dark and despairing.. there is within the power to make change.

Really? ARRGH! I was under the happy delusion for the 7 week decision  ???

What 7-week deadline?

The UKVI processing targets are:
- 95% of all settlement visas (priority and non-priority) processed in 12 weeks (60 working days)
- 100% processed in 24 weeks (120 working days)

While the VFS Global website says 30 working days for priority (which is 6 weeks, not 7 weeks), we have not seen this so-called target met in a number of months. In fact, they only just added the 30-working days part recently... and I have no idea why. Sheffield haven’t guaranteed a timeline for priority processing since about 2014 (used to be 15 working days but so many people used priority that they couldn’t meet that target so they got rid of it). We even had a couple of priority applications reach the 120-working-day mark a year or two ago!

Ah that must where I got the so many weeks timeline from.

Oh Lord, I don't know if I can make it a couple of months wait.

Hey guys is this the "Sheffield has it" email? Is this fast considering our mailed application arrived on Friday?
