Hi ya'll, I thought I'd toss my timeline into the fold. Crossing fingers this priority settlement visa gets done in the 30 day window, I put my hopeful departure date as 5 July (a bit optimistic probably).
You actually want to put the earliest possible date you will be available to travel within 30 days of. If the visa isn’t processed by then, it will just be made valid starting from just after the decision is actually made instead.
However, if you put a date too far ahead and the visa is processed much faster, it will still be made valid from the later date you put which means you can’t enter the UK any earlier than that.
I.e. if you put a date of, say, June 15th and the visa decision isn’t made until July 15th, then the visa would just be made valid starting in mid-late July.
But if you put a date of, say 15th September, but the visa decision was made on July 15th, the visa would not be valid for travel until early-mid Sept, which would mean waiting an extra 2 months after getting the visa before you could move to the UK.
