Tier 2 w dependents

[Mommabrer]

I'm applying from the US for a tier 2 Visa with two children (dependents). I received my cos from the NHS. I'll be working as a nurse.

We applied for our visas and paid the healthcare surcharge online September 26 .

We did our biometrics September 28th. Using VFS, I see our application arrived in New York October 2nd. All the applications were together in one envelope, and I did not pay for priority.

Yesterday I received an two emails from UKHubVisaInfo: (one for each son.) They start "Your UK visa application has arrived at the UK Visa Section, Croydon and has been uploaded on the system..."

#1) I have not received an email for my Visa. Should I be concerned?

#2) I have been told the 15-day processing time starts from when you do your Biometrics. I have also been told it starts from when it arrives in New York. And I've been told it starts from when it arrives in England. Does anyone know for sure?

Thank you so much.

Where is the other parent of the children??

We are divorced. He is letting me take the boys. We are still good friends.

It isn't as simple as that for tier 2 dependent children. What evidence of sole responsibility do you plan on submitting??

You aren't even answering the actual question. Nevermind. I called the UKVI number and received my answer.
