Thanks Guys i am happy to say she was accepted!!!
Wooohooo
We are now furiously planning on her arrival.
We are considering apply for a vignette extension but are struggling to navigate the gov site and find it.
Do you have any ideas on the cost one amd where to find them

Congratulations
!
What dates do you have on the 30-day vignette?
If she has things to sort out in the US, is there no way she can fly over within the 30 days to pick up her BRP and then return to the US?
Applying for a replacement vignette is a bit of a hassle. It currently costs £169, but this is reducing to £154 from April 6th.
It involves:
- waiting for the current vignette to expire
- making a new online visa application for the vignette transfer
- I think she needs to attend biometrics again
- then she sends her application and passport to New York for processing and waits for it to be mailed back to her for the second time
In all, I’d allow another 2-3 months from now to get a replacement vignette.
Or she could fly to the UK within the 30 days, pick up the BRP, fly back to the US and finally return to the UK when she’s ready.
Also, the earlier she enters the UK on the vignette, the earlier her 5-year count to ILR starts and the earlier she can apply for her future visas/citizenship
