Visa Courier

Has anyone had an interview / visa approval in London recently? How long did it take for your visa to arrive by courier? The embassy is saying 3-5 business days but I was wondering whether that ties with actual experiences?

David interviewed and was approved on 11/24 a week ago and we still do not have the visa in hand and have not received any indication of when that may be...we are hoping to hear something this week, but who knows??

My Parents were interviewed on July 29th and their passports with the visa and the brown envelope were delivered to them on July 31st.

Best of luck, hope you hear something today. Let us know when you do, will you? inhopeofglory and Amanda & Tony, you as well, if you see this. Let us know how long it takes to get your visa.

Thanks. Here's to everyone being together soon!

I checked on the courier website just a few minutes ago and it shows that the visa is to be delivered tomorrow 12/3. It does not show a time but just a date. David has not received a text message as of yet with more specific details but was told that sometimes they will not send them. I will post once it has been delivered. From our timeline it is 1 week and 2 days from the interview date for delivery. That could be because of the holiday that caused the delay and may not be the case for everyone.

Had you checked it already today? I am trying to work out if the courier's site is updated throughout the day or just once every 24 hours. I believe it is the latter... it is not a "live" tracking system like UPS or FedEx.

I had checked the website shortly before posting. I am not sure how often they update it. I am just glad to see atleast that they have it in their hand and that there is plans for delivery.

I had my interview and was approved on the 30th November too. I was also told 3 to 5 business days, but still no sign and not on tracking system. Phoned the embassy and they now say it could be posted any time up to Monday 7th and if I dont get it by Weds 9th to ring back (on premium line of course). Hope I am with my husband by Christmas

Did you get as wet as I did standing outside in the rain? What fun!

The visa has FINALLY been delivered! Just wanted to let everyone know. David never got a text message of the delivery time and date but the courier website did show the date and it was in fact correct. For our time line, it was 2 weeks and 2 days from the interview date to receive the visa back from the Embassy...

I'm so happy for you Ginny! I hope the embassy speeds up, I really want mine by next week!

OMG...I just got the courier text. I can't believe it...it's only been 2 days since interview and my visa will be here tomorrow! I've checked the website and it's there to be delivered. I'm so happy but at same time feel bad that it's been so quick when so many have been waiting longer than me. It seems that London are over their back log and I pray that everyone gets their visas asap. I'll save my happy dance until the visa is in my hand!

That's awesome! Congratulations. Are you also able to track it online or is the website still saying that there is no information available?

Yay! I got my text too! The website's saying the same - that they'll deliver it tomorrow
