Hey fcat.

No i didn't do it with the online courier system, ive read on here where some ended up having a nightmare doing it that way . some even had to pay that twice to get their passports back so i did mine on the day at the embassy itself.

yes they asked when i wanted to fly - i told them asap as my step daughter was ill in california. yeah i will let you know when its been delivered back to me too.

Ugh! you've got me worried now! i pre paid and registered for delivery to the house!

Wonder if i can just forget that and d the same as you did? i'll ask when i get there i guess.

thanks again

When i attended my Interview the guy asked me if i had already paid a courier service and i said no. My ceac still says ISSUED and that my visa has been printed i still havn't heard yet on it being returned. checking my emails and tracking number for delivery many times through the day to see if anything there to say when its being returned.

I wouldn't worry too much i'm sure not everyone who has pre-paid had problems it was just the ones i had read did have.

Just dont book your flight until it is in your hand.

Juels .

Justoleme, i would like to know how long it takes for your passport to arrive back with you and if yo arranged for pickup at the depot or paid for the home delivery ? i have done the home delivery and would like to try book my flight ASAP.

Si ,

I just checked my tracking number and it is going to be delivered tomorrow. Yayyyy. will let you know when it is in hand.

So exactly 7 days from interview = 5 working days.

I would advise you do it like i did at the Embassy = £8.75 as i see your hoping for it to be returned in time for your flight like i was .

I am Flying in to Los Angeles on 27th

Im excited for you and your interview.

Honestly it is just like going up to the post office counter and they are soooo relaxed and great with you , im sure you will be fine my friend.

Let us all know how you get on ok.

Getting the train down to London tomorrow for interview on Monday, quick question.

Where about at the embassy do people start to line up ?

there are two kind of offices in front of the railings, Make sure you go to the one that says visa appointments, there will be guys in the offices ask them if your unsure.

Around 7.15 am they bring two metal tall desks out if you want to call them that , so that means two queues, you will go to the one that is for interviews for immigration.

Stand in the middle of the two offices by the ballards. this is where they bring the metal desks out and that is where you have to queue.

Everyone else will be queuing by doors to enter the office but you must stand in middle of the offices , the man will tell you he told me where to stand so i did and i was first in there.

They will ask for your passport and interview letter at this point , THEN you will enter the office when they tell you to. there you will go through a scanner and baggage will also go through scanner. from there you just follow signs to enter the main building . where you will be given a number , follow the steps up and wait in the waiting room until your number is called .

Will be thinking of you .

I am travelling down to Heathrow tomorrow for flight Monday

From the midlands , where you from ?
