I was Tuesday the 15th of October. It went into Administrative Processing the next day at 08:00 until 14:00 when it changed to Issued and today around 14:30 I got a notification with a tracking number.

That's pretty quick! And I thought your reply was from Carl.! 

 

Congratulations on getting approved!

I had a nightmare at my medical (it was when the train overhead cables caught fire due to the heat), but my interview was super chilled and easy. Here’s my review/tips:

It’s passing in a blur!

 

Good luck for tomorrow and try not to stress over it - it really is a casual chat - you’ll leave feeling relieved, I’m sure!

Cheers. The closer it is the calmer I'm feeling. People such as yourself have helped a lot. I just want it to be done now!

It did. It was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I was only asked three questions and my interview only lasted around 5 minutes! But yeah, approved! Just got to wait to get my passport back.

For reference here's my timeline from the Interview onwards:

 

2019-10-15 - Interview.
2019-10-16 at 08:04 - Status changed to 'Administrative Processing'.
2019-10-16 at 14:00 - Status changed to 'Issued'.
2019-10-17 at 14:35 - Received email with a tracking number and saying the passport with the visa was dispatched.
2019-10-18 - Called DX Couriers as I was in a rural area and the status of the tracking number said: "Your item has been sent via 3rd party. Please contact your service provider." - They told me they sent it via Royal Mail Special Delivery that morning. It took a while to register but at 15:40 it was in the South Midlands Mail Centre.
2019-10-19 at 10:04 - Received the delivery.

Congratulations mate! Now you get to move onto the next fun stage, sorting out your life and possessions for immigration 😆🙈

 

Passport will probably take a week or two - think mine was slightly less than a week, but obviously depends how busy they are.

 

And yes, I was amazed how easy the interview seemed - I got asked a LOT more when I had my B1 interview.
