From interview (in london) to visa in hand

[nattrav 0]

hi

i have read that it takes 5-7 days, or 7-10 days, (working days) from the interview approval to the visa in hand - in LONDON

but can anyone who has EXPERIENCE of having their interview in london, let me know how long it took them to get the visa back

i know that the time fluctuates depending on how busy the embassy is etc, but a rough idea would be awesome, as i REEEEEALLLY want to book my flight as soon as my interview is over, for as soon as possible, so i can get to the US quickly, but planning to give it about 2 and a half weeks difference, JUST in case!!

thanks

You should never book the flight until your passport with the visa inside and sealed envelope are in your hands. God forbid you got put into AP, or had a typographical error on your visa. It's rare, but it does happen.

I just read a post of someone who got their visa today. It arrived 8 days after the interview including the weekend.

They told us at the interview it would take 3-5 business days. Today marks the 4th and nothing yet...we have booked our flight so it's a bit worrying, but we still have 2 weeks.

It only took a recent interviewee 3 days.

Oh I'm the American petitioner, he's the UK beneficiary! He's probably going to have a get together with some friends next week or so. I've called the DOS every day since Monday (the date of his interview) and it's still "processing". We're still well within the range they gave us, and we still have until the 24th so I'm not getting TOO concerned now. If it's not there by next week I'll start to panic.
