Thanks everyone...family permit approved just this morning after the interview

[chancy]

I attended the interview this morning and after few minutes, the ECO told me, I'll grant you a visa..

I was shocked, all I could do was to stare at him and get an assurance of what he just said. Yes, you'll have your visa, then he continued on briefing me about the things that I should do when I arrive to the UK. (very kind ECO)

I filed my papers last week, 28 October, Wednesday. By the way, I applied for family permit (thanks to Sir Dom) (thanks to Ji&Ma for the moral support).

It took only five days to process. It was a good decision to file it here in Malaysia.

I got a lot of substantial information here and thanks to those who are very open in sharing their thoughts, ideas and experiences in the visa processing and documentation.

I'll just wait for the UK visa center to send me my passport as I am far away from Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks everyone.

Additional questions he asked me:

Thank you very much. I have been reading information about family permit and following your threads about your application. I am receiving great advises from some members too, especially JiMa and Joebloggs, I am really very thankful to them. I am pleased to know that you'll be sharing information with me.

I will be married this January and I am starting to know some information and gathering papers/documents that would help my application. I hope to complete them by February so I could join my husband in UK.

Thanks for posting the documents you've submitted, it will be very useful to my application this coming year We have some of the documents ready but still sorting out the rental agreement. We printed a copy of the application (VAF5) and starting to fill it up, I am using it as my draft. It's very helpful, I can go through with the questions and review my answers.
Congratulations again and thanks alot!

Thank you. I think so too based from my experience.
