If you are having trouble posting pictures here, try posting pictures of something OTHER than cat pictures.  I'm afraid the space for cat pictures is totally full.  Please post pictures of your local Mexican Restaurant with burritos.

Burritos over cats?!?!   :o

So guys my visa is in the mail!! Sheffield should get it tomorrow.  :o

After I put it in the mail I got a HUGE stomach ache, thinking - did I do everything right, did I forget anything?! I was freaking out a little bit but my parents and husband kept saying you've/we've done everything we can and now we just have to wait. It's so scary and nerve racking. It's really hard for me not to worry about it. I completely understand how some of you ladies have been feeling about this process now. I know I need to stay positive and just trust that we did all that we could. No one really understands how I'm feeling right now, I guess no one does until you're in this situation. My husband is so calm and collected and says I'm worrying too much, I'm sure he's right. I sure hope he is! Hopefully I'll relax more and try to stay busy until we hear back. Fingers crossed we'll hear back in about 7-8 weeks with amazing news. I just needed to vent that!

Also, question! Did any of you get a interview phone call? how likely are we to get a phone call?

They only reach out for an interview if they suspect your employment or relationship is fraudulent.

As larrabee says, as a US applicant, the chances of them thinking that of your application is near zero.

If, however, you were from a high-risk country and it looks like your sponsor is employed within a local community of people originating from high-risk countries, then this raises a red flag immediately as it fits the pattern of a classic visa scam - so it's almost certain that they will call your sponsor and their employer to check.

I feel that Jimbo is being mean to me. Lol.

I am in desperate need of some authentic Mexican food.

I am very happy for the people who have gotten their decisions and decision emails but now I am also beginning to think something maybe be up with mine.  :\\\'(

I feel the same way. However, it's great to hear news from everyone else because we know that they're moving again. :) Each ECO is different so try not to worry. We are on the same BD so we can go through it together!!

It's unfortunately common for decisions to be completely out of order, sometimes to improve the published stats. So try not to let that get you down. The waiting is truly the hardest part and soon it will be behind you!

I would be a LOT of money that you have also received a decision made email but that it simply went to your lawyer's office (possibly the one who is no longer there). 

I'd look about 7pm UK time and see if your tracking starts moving.  Maybe do that each evening.  It'll be interesting to see if your fellow applicants move tonight.  If so, tomorrow might be your day if yours doesn't move.  :)

Keep your spirits up.  Just because YOU don't have the email personally does NOT mean you don't have an email.  :D

MovingtoWales --- I'm sure yours is not far behind or went to you lawyers email like KFdancer said!
I was feeling like that yesterday and Friday when a few people a whole week after me were getting their emails.
Obviously I was so happy for them, but also worried something was wrong with mine.
Fingers crossed your passport is on it's way back to you!
