    Champagne on ice?

    Well guys we have today received the much quoted email

    "Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days depending on which country you applied from or will be couriered back to you only if you have availed of this service. UKVI"

    After 6 years and 2.5 years married I daren't be happy yet until she has the visa in her hands!!

    I hope to post an update shortly!!!

    Unless the ECO hit the wrong button when sending the automated (highly unlikely) then it's the best news ever.

    Many congratulations to you both
