I got my UK Visa, the first email did not say wether it was approved or not before I received the next email that had the UPS tracking number.
This was the first email I got:
Your application, passport and supporting documentation have arrived safely in this office. Please note that the processing time for all applications (except settlement) is 5-15 working days. However, if your application is straightforward and has been submitted with full supporting documentation, a decision is likely to be made within the next 24 hours. If further enquiries are required, a decision on your application will be made within 15 working days of its receipt in this office. You will be informed by e-mail if this is the case.
Please note that all PBS Tier 1 applications will be processed within 5-15 working days. All settlement applications will be processed within 60 working days as published on the UKVisas website (although we aim to process these applications within 20 - 30 working days in Los Angeles).
Please do not contact this office unless we have exceeded any of these time frames. If everything is in order with your application and we are able to issue your visa, we will send another e-mail to let you know when it has been despatched and provide you with a UPS tracking number.
Please note that our visa enquiry telephone line serviced by Worldbridge will not be able to answer any application status enquiries. However, you can send an e-mail free of charge by accessing their web-site and clicking on 'send an e-mail' at
www.visainfoservices.com. Worldbridge operators will then send any application status enquiries directly to the Consulate.
