Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Update!!
It's happening everyone!. I officially got the "Decision has been made email" this morning.
It looks exactly like the example you posted, Sammy.
And I just checked the tracking number (for the 5th time today) and it is in fact in transit!
I'll receive it tomorrow and that thing better have an approved visa in it!
I wish I had some advice or an idea of something to do, for you both who are STILL waiting. There is no reason why these should all be arriving at such different times for all of us. We've all escalated, emailed, called so many times.
Thinking of you both and hope hope hope you get some info soon. And hope my news is good! Will update tomorrow.
And thank you so much for being a support to me during this frustrating time !!!

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
YAY!!! So excited for you!!! I hear you get an attachment to the email if it’s a refusal so I’m sure you’re a yes!!!
I had some progress yesterday in that I got a request to send my bank statements. Which of course I’d already sent. Had to go to the back again today as I’d sent originals to NY. Now I sit and wait again...
How goes Sammy???

I'm so sorry, Sammy!! I can empathize what it's like for you to be waiting and waiting. It's awful.

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
We are missing our dog !! and of course my mother who is an amazing lady and one of the reasons why we are moving back.
We know are time will come, unfortunately I am not a patient person especially when I don’t know what’s going on.

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Yes - hang in there Sammy. I feel like I'm even less patient now since sending the bank statements.
Can't wait to reunite my family. My kids are struggling so much without their dad!

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Hi everyone,
I got my visa this morning!
Booked a flight for this Sunday... can't wait to be reunited with my husband..its been 3 months! (Also can't wait to not be living out of a suitcase)
Weirdly..the visa is valid from February 11- March 13....noticed that AFTER I booked my flight for the evening of the 10th (too anxious) but thankfully I won't technically arrive in the UK until the 11th.
Thinking about all of you. If anyone ever starts some kind of petition to change this process, believe me, we will support it haha! This has been rough and I know so many others have it much worse.
Thank you again for the support..I honestly think I would have lost my mind without anyone to talk to besides my husband. No one understands how crazy this process is!
Will be sending all of the positive thoughts your way for some news this week!

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Happy to report I got a yes today! Preparing to pack up and move in about 2 weeks.
Sammy - that is the most frustrating response as it tells you absolutely nothing. I truly hope you hear something soon!!!

So so happy to hear that Sammy!
Been checking in here to see if you've updated.
Hopefully you'll receive the passport within a couple days!
