UK Transit Visa, Application returned by courier before decision made
On August 24 my biometrics were collected at the Visa Application Center. On the 29th I received an email saying "Application Received by UK Visas & Immigration".
Until today I didn't receive any additional email, but this one:
On the other hand on the TLS site, in "Track my application" the timeline looks like:
Services Selected - done
Services paid - done
Application Submitted - done
Transferred for Decision - done
Received by UKVI - done
Decision Made - not yet done
Ready for Courier Return - not yet done
Dispatch by Courier - done
All this stuff confuses me... Does this mean that they made a decision and just didn't yet send an email? Does this mean that they just sent me back my passport and they yet have to make a decision?
P.S. I have a flight this Friday, is there any chance to get the visa on time? I applied for the visa in Moldova. Oh yeah, I also received this email two days ago:
Also, when I try to track using DHL's site it says: (Not found): No result found for your DHL query. Please try again.
Thanks,
Denis.

Everything is okay, just 10 minutes ago received my passport back and I got the Visa. On the TLS site the same timeline, no updates. Received the shipment 1 day earlier.
