Dear William,

I applied on 6/30 (哈..right before 7/1)
But, I sent out my application&documents on 7/4 and just received an email on 7/8 from the British Immigration Section saying that my application has been approved and the visa has been issued.

Totally, I received two emails from them.
First e-mail was to confirm me that my application has arrived safely at their office and it is currently being processed.

The second e-mail was sent to inform me that my visa was issued and will take approximately 2 working days for my documents to be arrived at my mailing address and the office also gave me the tracking number for my package just in case it fails to deliver on time.

做事效率還真快!!
