Hi all,

My partner Rich recieved an email this morning reading:

"Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the
Visa Application Centre after 3 days. Applicants in Australia and New Zealand should allow 3 days before tracking their documents via the local post.

UKBA-Manila Visa
Hub

This is an automated message. Please do not respond to this email address as
incoming mail is not answered."

Does this mean his visa has been approved?

We are nervously getting excited....

Thanks, Jo.

Oh thank you for telling me that!!! Fingers crossed... I think we won't believe it until we see it in his passport but the wording 'Your visa will be despatched' does sound pretty positive, otherwise there would be nothing to despatch?

I can't believe it, so happy!!

Nods in agreement... I received a similarly worded e-mail a week ago this past Wednesday.

Very exciting times ahead!
