Unbelievably fast visa approval! How long do we wait now?

I can't believe I am even writing this, The post I sent in yesterday was about worrying I had sent in the wrong stuff. Now, 1 1/2 days after I sent it the application I get an email from the UK consulate in Chicago that says "Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued." I am speechless really and I'm not questioning it, Just a bit amazed.

My question here is, now that it has apparently been approved and issued, how long do you normally have to wait before they send the visa and all of your original documents (Passports) back to you?

What type of visa was applied for?

Congrats to you! I believe from your previous post, you applied for a fiance visa? Just out of curiousity did you use an expeditor?

My documents took two days to get back to me(I don't know if that's the usual case).

Good luck with everything

wow congratulations!! yes what application was it and how did you get it so quickly!?

i'm applying to join my fiancee (vaf4a)
