Hi everyone.

I received an email from UKBA last thursday.


Dear Mrs XXXXX

Manila Ref: XXXXX


Thank you for your email of 29/08/2013.



Please be advised that the Entry Clearance Officer has now made a decision on your visa application.. You will receive a notification through email once your visa has been printed and your passport/ documents are released to the courier.


Yours sincerely
.

- Is my visa approved?
- Can I breathe now?
- How does the UKBA decide on the start date of visa validity? I know someone, she needed to stay in Manila for 2 months more after UKBA Manila released her visa and all her documents. Why is that?
