Does anyone know the date from when the vignette is issued after you get the "decision has been made" email for settlement visas?

Usually date of decision or a future date if you stated an intended date of travel.

My intended date of travel has gone by so I'm guessing it will be from the date of decision in my case.

Does anyone knows how long does it take for them to decide on application once they asked for request document. Please reply

Im still waiting for collection message. If a decision was made on 8th May then what is taking them long to return the passport? Also what does this mean for the vignette? When will the start date be?
Im trying not to think the worse.

When do people typically count the working days from? Biometrics appointment? Date supporting documents are provided? ECO email?

Hi All
We applied Priority in Chandigarh biometrics done on 1st April 2019. We are on 35th Working day. I have had no contact whatsoever from UKVI and when I called for an update I have been told Application has been processed - awaiting decision. I have been told this since 15th May. So worried and nervous

LOL I'm definitely not handling it well. I haven't even got the Entry clearance officer email and it's been 30 working days for me today. Thinking of calling them today and asking for an update. Some people have said that they have stopped sending the ECO email after a certain date but I've seen people getting it even long after the date I gave my biometrics on.

Hi everyone, here is my timeline
Country applying from: Mumbai North
Type of visa applied for: settlement (wife)
Priority/Non-Priority: Non-Priority
Online application submitted: 13/03/2019
Biometrics submitted: 13 March 2019 (walk-in appointment for 3000INR)
Documents sent to VFS Scanning Hub in Manchester by sponsor: 19/03/2019
(£75 for scanning all documents)
Email stating ‘your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer’: 10/05/2019
(Is this a good sign)
I am still awaiting for decision email.
I was looking at my credit report on Noddle.com and I found HMRC completed an Identification check on me on 03/05/2019. Nothing to worry about but I thought it was interesting! Now fingers crossed we all get the results we hoping for.
