Orville and I had our visa interview on November 18, 2009 and we were approved!! The thing is...they said it would take 2-14 days to get the visa via DHL...I was told the average is 3-5 business days...but we still dont have our visa in hand. Should I be concerned?

I have been looking at the average on this site and it seems just around 7 working days for kingston. My fiance and I did our interview on Nov 16 and we got the visa in hand on the 23. That is 5 business days later. Your first business day started on Thursday the 19th. That is 19, 20, 23, 24. I wouldn't count 25 and 26 because they are thanksgiving days (US Embassy). If DHL picked up the package on 27th Friday, then you wouldn't get it until Monday. Sometimes the DHL system is not updated ontime. So they might have your package already and you might have it on Monday :star:

Regardless of what they tell you, it's just a guess. People get it sooner. People get it later. I wouldn't worry just yet. It's coming.

Congrats.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Still no visa!! We call DHL every day and hear the same thing.....it is still inside the embassy. I don't know if the holiday slowed them down a lot or what....tomorrow from 1:30-3:30 the visa people who answer the phone will be in the office so I think I might call and see if they can tell me anything. DHL says they have no idea when the embassy will send it. I think the DHL lady is sick of me calling although she is very nice...LOL. Keep praying for us....it isn't me that I feel bad for...it's our daughter who cries for Daddy every day since we left almost two weeks ago....and my other kids who havent seen their "smiley daddy" for three years...they are the ones who need him here now....thanks to all of you for your support!!!
