Honestly i was under the impression that after they send u such a letter with a deadline of 15/30/45 or 60 days your BF date (Bring forward date ) would be created by then. The BF date wud be the due date that they must look at ur file. however, let's say u submit all required documents within 5 days ur letter was sent to u, the BF date would collapse and they wud have to give attention to ur file as the documents requested are now recieved. I recall reading this information in the page entitled: "GCMS notes explained like never before". You are but mere hours away. Keep holding on. Keep the faith okay.

They don't always keep their promise in regards of 30 days. The decision on our file had to be done by February 17 th as written in the letter similar to yours . It's almost a month now and nothing from them. We are just worried about the originals they are holding.
Anyways we see what happens. Congratulations with your anniversary .

I love your questions.waiting.we always happy for those who's applications are processed quickly but it doesn't mean the visa office is doing a good job.you know the number of visa offices who are currently working on September application when we all are paying the same visa fees.its very sad and I sometimes feel this long processing brings a lot of stress and unnecessary tension between couples.i pray the new government improve on their processing time worldwide.we all understand,the office is handling lots of countries but what I don't understand is why they don't have more officers and staff to be able to work on all 8 countries.it is very sad to come from Africa but God is in control

The message you saw is for everybody. I checked my wife's account after reading your post and I see the same message as yours. What confuses me is that our application is just 2 months old and what they put there makes you feel that the application is at the final stage. I hope they are speeding up to issue visa to all regardless how old is your application.
