my status has changed to issued but mailbox place is closed at weekends

Great to see there's been progress for some over the last couple of weeks.
Can I ask - Is it always the case that the 'Case Last Updated' date changes for everyone who's received an initial response?

Thanks

I’d also like to know that. It’s a little frustrating seeing people that had interviews around the same time as me getting their emails, but my case hasn’t been updated since the date of my interview

Received visa back today. 2 years instead of 5 last time. My passport expired 6 months before visa.

Just checked my status and case was last updated today. Hopefully I mite hear something in the next few days

Congratulations. A rare success. All the best.

I have just received my email to send passport for visa issuance. Do I need to send anything else other than the instructions they sent and my passport?

Fantastic news. Just follow their instructions to the letter :-)

thanks. It just says

“Please submit passport for visa issuance. Please note that you have 30 days from today in which to resubmit your passport. If your passport is not received within this time your application will experience even further delays. You are NOT required to submit any other additional supporting documents.”

so I am presuming that a passport is all I need to send?

Correct, as the message says, "You are NOT required to submit any other additional supporting documents."

Great news!

Passport has been sent today if you would like to update the spreadsheet? I will let you know the outcome once I have it back

Checked mine today and case has been updated. Will update with what happens next.

excellent! Once mine was updated I received my email the following day

Hi all, wanted to update on my case - I picked up my passport yesterday with a 5-year visa in it, which was pretty surprising. Good luck to all those still waiting!
