How long will it take to get our passport back with approved Visa?

[Darren + Heather 0]

At our interview we were told that our Visa was approved pending receipt of police clearance form from Germany (My fiance was stationed there whole in the Army). My question is, how long is the turn around to receive our Visa and passport once the courier picks up them up? We were told it would be a simple process and should only take 3-5 days once everything was received by the Embassy. I am hoping to get some "real-time" experience from VJ users, as we are trying to arrange for him to move, set a wedding date, and purchase plane tickets, etc.. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing, my fiancee was told by the courier people when she paid them 3-5 days, so she thought she would recive everything back in 3-5 days, she called the courier company and was told that when they recive everything from the embassy it takes 3-5 days to deliver but it takes the embassy 1-3 weeks to forward everything to them.

As so as we hear anything I'll let you know.

Hopefuly some people who were approved in the last month or so will come forward and let us know how long it takes from the interview to reciving there passport and paperwork back.

So glad things worked out so fast for you. We are still waiting for Germany to send back the police clearance form. God I hope we get it this week. I am so frustrated with this whole thing. We have a November wedding date and the honeymoon set and paid for. Fingers crossed we get everything really soon.

Just so you know, I am still waiting for my passport. Its been 5 business days, interview was on the 16th Sept, and when the embassy official who did my interview told me my application had been approved, she told me it would take 7-10 business days. i called today the 09042 number to see if i might be able to speed things up and was told there was no way of looking at individual cases but they have been told the processing time is 7-10 business days.

Courier company told me that the passport is delivered the day after they receive it.

I'll let you know when i receive mine, hopefully it will be in the next few days.
