Got the EEA Family Permit, I think?!?!

Hi folks,

My wife sent off her application through VFS Japan on the 21st April and exactly a week later received the following email:

From:<MANILVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk>
Subject: UK Visa Application: UKBA-Manila Visa Hub (Ref: xxxxx)


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.


Now, this seems very positive to me. Anyone else received a similar email and then got theirs? Also, if you did get it, how long until you actually received your passport/visa back?

Although they have sent this email (last Thursday 28th), the online tracking on VFS still shows as "Application under assessment at visa section", annoying.

Thanks for your input everyone.
