lodge my visa today

anyone know what this means, email sent to my wife.
Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days. Applicants in Australia and New Zealand should allow 3 days before tracking their documents via the local post. UKBA-Manila Visa Hub

If the e-mail is from the British Embassy it means your visa is approved and granted.
Should have @fco.gov.uk as the e-mail address ending
If yes, then well done and congratulations to you both

Terpe, as far as I know, my wife has only received email from VFS which has simply stated that the visa application is ready to collect. No communique from the UKBA at all. Unless it has gone into her Junk/Spam folder.....I will check with her.....

Any thoughts on this?

Only UKBA can state the result of any visa application decision.
The information is confidential and UKBA do not inform VFS about decision, only about processes.
VFS cannot state visa approved/granted, because they just don't know.

Just got the result Terpe. its

But we never did get anything from the embassy like others have got recently. No message saying the visa had ben dispatched.

We are over the moon. But for the benefit of others submitting visa applications.....if you dont get a message saying that you have got the visa, it doesnt mean you arent successful.....

... back in the "bad old times" [February 2009] all MY wife got was a text worded: "Processed passport returned to Courier" - which seemed to've been the norm!
