I wish i could help you , but we were in the same situation. We didn't get any email until the day that they issued our visa. Its very frustrating. I am sorry .

Re: Timeline for issue of Settlement Visa

Thanks for the reply anyway... It feels like at least someone cares

I did get an email saying that we payed the 'wrong' priority amount so I payed again today and sent them the conformation numbers of both payments...keep your fingers crossed... I thought we had loads of time but the house sold quickly and now I need my passport for the shipper and driving licence... I have booked a place to stay (yay) so all I need is the damn Visa!

Update, Even though we sent the documents they requested when OH paid the Visa fee, they asked for some more. We sent then asap and they were delived 1st Oct. No email saying they were received, in fact no emails at all.... now 47 working days (16 after Priority added).

Re: Timeline for issue of Settlement Visa

Yes, we did get it and are flying home next week!
The Visa took forever and arrived mid-Oct after we had to sent more statements and the mystery Appendix 2.
The problem was when we applied (just after the big change) all their directions were wrong ie we sent 3 months of statements and the new regs wanted 6 and appendix 2 wasn't on our on-line application.
We had sent exactly what they asked us for but their web site was not updated until August.... I did post on a new thread re appendix 2 in case other people who applied just after the change had been caught out as well (and they had).
Thanks for your intrest
