    got VFS sms now!


    Hello everyone- as I told you I submitted my papers 30th of sept. And now I got an SMS from VFS said: "your processed visa application is ready for pick up tomorrow 2-3pm".

    I am nervous and excited. I know some of you guys are done on this stage.
    Just a question does it mean YES for visa? sorry to ask or i think i am just so excited.
    I hope i can sleep tonight- really i wanna see my fiance again soon--
    Thank you all and GOd Bless.

    My wife got this same message "your processed visa application is......" . And her visa was approved. But because it didnt say that the visa was ready for collection, like it evidently has in some cases, she knew she had to wait till she had her passport in her hand, to be 100% certain. It was a sleepless night for us both.

    Evidently we don't all get the same message, even though our applications are approved.

    That's the impression I've got from reading all the satisfied customers posts. One wonders why it has taken the UKBA so long to get it's act together

    Arthur. There seems to have been so many applications and so many successes this month or so. Is it normally this busy? Or is this exceptional just now? I think it was Scott who said we ought to have chartered our own ladies flight across to the UK just now.

    Tbh, I'm not sure. Of one thing I AM certain, though ... it's a BIG turnaround from what it had been a couple of years back - when the average waiting time was anything up to THREE MONTHS or even longer!

    Indeed, my own wife happened to be one of the luckier ones. Application submitted January 20, 2009 ... approved 4/5 weeks later, on February 23. So it gives you some of the [much-needed] improved service!

    Yep. LOL. Ours took 2 weeks yet many are coming through, now, in just a few days. Amazing.
