Discouraged

I was fine for the first month or so. After about 25 BD  I started losing my mind. I got my email before these lovely ladies, and at first I was like YAY EMAIL then I was like...."Why did I get mine first. WAS IT A REFUSAL?!"

like it was positive and I still turned it into a negative

It's self preservation that does that! There is a natural instinct not to get your hopes up.

I'm probably going to start getting really impatient around that time too   

Oh I bet that was nerve racking, you were just in a faster pile!

I think I starting go mad around the 20 BD mark because I read somewhere that there was a possibility of getting a answer around 15 BD.  When it reached 30 BD thats when I started getting down because obviously that is the time for priorities to recieve something,  and since we weren't getting any feedback from our solicitor I started to become a wee bit negative..and thinking the worst case scenerio

Guys!! I just woke up for the last time as a US resident!!! I fly home in 7 hours ♡♡♡♡

My Husband read that too! He found it on the uk gov website from the confirmation email. "80% of the priority settlement visas are processed with in 15 business days" So that could be the same thing? My husband and my family keeps saying, you could get it faster! I would be the same way and 30 days.. thinking okay I'd really like to see my man now!! So here's to staying busy and staying positive!

Ya, 80% sounds pretty positive and optimistic,  I was think ok more than likely I will get a answer back...I didn't take into account all the others applying and its the busiest time of the year...LOL..OOPS...

Yeah it seems like June/July is the busiest months to apply. Fingers crossed it's slowed down a bit!

I believe that's from the May processing times published on the UKVI website, which say:
- 2% decided in 3 working days
- 60% decided in 5 working days
- 72% decided in 10 working days
- 78% decided in 15 working days
- 85% decided in 30 working days
- 98% decided in 60 working days
- 100% decided in 90 working days

However, those times (2, 3 5, 10 and 15 days) seem very suspect, since almost everyone on this forum who has applied priority in the last 6 months has experienced processing times of at least 30 working days and I don't think I've seen anyone get their settlement visa in 15 working days or less since January 2018 (and that was only a couple of people). Before that they hadn't been processed that quickly since February 2017.
