DX Secure - Paying for courier returning passport/visa

[mjqjazzbar 2]

So at the interview we forgot the letter of intent. Therefore once I had received it from my fiancé, I had to send that and my passport to the embassy, which I paid for when I called the courier to deliver it.

But now how do I get the embassy to send my visa and passport back? Will they call me for a payment? Tell the courier to send it and accept payment on the other end? I didn't ask at the interview because I just wasn't thinking at the time.

Generally how long will it take after receiving it will they get on to sending my visa?

Here's the courier website with fees http://www.thedx.co.uk/customerservice/dxservicesusembassy/visacollections/

Normally you would pay for them to collect it and for the return back from the embassy 25.50 GBP. If you paid that amount, then when the embassy issues your visa, they will hand it over to the courier to bring back to you. You have pre-paid for the return.

How long? Here's a post from someone who just did the same thing and she tells her time experience http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/425615-passport-needed-2-days-after-interview/?p=6225478

I am curious about the new letter of intent. I know they want one if 4 months has passed and your NOA2 has expired. But looking at your timeline, you were a couple of days short of that expiration. Can you elaborate on what they said?

Aaah I see, I did pay £25.50! So thats a relief, I just have to wait now.

They really didn't go into elaboration of why I needed it, they just said I should have had it along with my affidavit of support. I apologised and explained that we didn't realise we needed it and that was it.

Thanks Nich

I'm probably being really daft here but what is the letter of intent?

Letter of intent to marry is requried when sending I-129F petition to USCIS, literally just short note confirming that both petitioner and beneficiary intent to mary each other within 90 days of beneficiary entering US on K-! visa. Not relevant for Spousal Visa.

Actually, we had already both written a letter of intent at the start when we filed the I-129F. This was a letter of intent from my fiance the petitioner to say that he still does intend to marry me, as it had been a while since they received the first one I guess.
