Me and my boyfriend just came back from Croydon and I logged in here to let you know that I got my new visa!!!
We organised all our photos, documents, emails in neat folders and went there

We didn't have to wait on the queue because we had an appointment so we went straight through

We passed through security and went to reception, where the woman checked our documents to see if we had everything they needed. She was quite tough though, and scared us a bit, but at the end she allowed us to go. So we went upstairs and paid. As soon as we finished paying, our number was called! We didn't have to wait. Then, they checked all the documents thoroughly, making sure we had enough proof of cohabitation in the last two years. They didn't check our photos though.
Then they did some photocopies and asked us to wait for the passport for up to two hours. But in around 20 minutes they called us again, asked me to check if the details were correct and that's it!!! I got it!
I'm so happy and wanted to share this with you.
Thank you so much for all the tips received here.
