Hey everyone,

First of all I would like to thank BritinParis, Spouseofascouse as without their patience (yes I asked a lot of questions) and solid advice and support, our application would not have been successful.

I truly believe this forum is full of dedicated people who provide objective, knowledgeable advice and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

For those who are waiting; its tough.
Sometimes, the days go quickly, other times they do not. However, please hang in there and all will come to those who wait.

Our timeline
Application made in Ho Chi Minh City, (docs get sent to Bangkok)
Standard processing (as priority was not an available option)
Application and bios: 13th April (VFS received all our documents)
Sheffield received the documents: 26th April (the big gap in timing, we assume, is due to Easter/Songkran and the change in process of moving all decisions to Sheffield)
No emails or text messages were sent to inform us of the status of the process, we called a few times to find out the time Sheffield received the documents (before they changed service providers for the phone and email service)
Amount spent on phone calls: 78 GBP
Decision made email sent: 6th July
Collected documents and passport: 7th July

Hope this helps,


Once again, thanks everyone.
