Priority Spouse Visa FALL Timeline (Oct-Dec)

Does anyone have any knowledge on the decision email wording ?

The subject line of the email had a VAF number - in the body of the letter is referred to the GWF number -

Does a VAF number mean that the visa is approved ?

I haven't seen any tracking info yet on UPS - my decision made email came on Thursday - today is Monday - but with the Thanksgiving holiday over, I'm hoping to see some sort of tracking posted today.

The overall time was 17WD from biometrics - is this a good sign or bad?  I know I paid for priority service but it seems mighty fast.

Any clarification would be appreciated !!

From what I have read on this board, it's usually a good sign if it is processed quickly and there is no attachment e-mail. Also, Thursday was an ordinary day in the UK where they made the decision, but maybe the scanning hub in New York was closed for Thanksgiving. Holidays tend to delay mail too. Fingers crossed that you get your passport back soon!

17WD is similar to the recent approvals we’ve had on the forum, and the fact that your passport hasn’t been shipped yet also is normal. I know the wait to receive your passport really is awful, but all signs are positive!

Fingers and toes crossed here as well for you REGIT.  We are 21 days and counting so living vicariously through you at the moment!

Thanks guys-I know we are all in the same boat and feeling each other's anxiety.
I have my resignation letter on my desk ready to give my boss but I'm afraid to hand it in yet -

I appreciate your kind words - for you both waiting - hang in there - should be any minute !!

I received a text message, but no e-mail.

It says "Your application has been concluded by UKVI. Your passport(s) will be shipped via UPS. ? You may check tracking status on UPS.com shortly."

Apparently my passport shipped last night but there's a "severe weather delay."

I got that text yesterday when my passport was already enough route. The decision made email was 6 days ago...they are not on the ball at all....

Keep us posted!!!
