Has anyone with recent interviews received visa with new courier?

[crashsle 4]

Hello everyone!

I know there's so much confusion going on with the changes to courier service and payment options, so I was wondering if anyone who had their interview in the past week has actually received the anticipated phone call about how to receive their visa yet?! I have an interview Tuesday and based on the previous timelines was expecting to fly out the following week as soon as visa was in hand, but from looking around here nobody seems to have heard back about their visa with this new courier system! So thought we should try and create a dedicated page so that people can start to see new patterns emerging and get a rough timeline average started all over again!

Hiya

This new system is starting to really confuse me now lol, just when I thought I had it figured out. My interview is this coming Thursday. Which phone call are you guys referring to? Do they call to tell you when the visa is being delivered?

Catie--

Now the visa fee and courier scheduling are done together on an online system before the interview. Some people were caught in transition, meaning they paid over the phone line, got an email receipt, and we're expecting to arrange the courier at the embassy. But as of Monday 8/29, there is no courier scheduling at the embassy. The people that interviewed this week were told they would get a call to work it out because they got caught in the switch over.

Did you pay the visa fee over the phone and get an emailed receipt? If so you are one of the transition people.

Ahhh okay. I paid the visa fee and arranged to pick up my passport from the courier hub online, so I'm not one of the folks in transition. So I'm guessing I just need to take a print-out of the online confirmation for fee payment/delivery location.

Thanks, Nich-Nick

Thank you! I haven't read any of the reviews for a while. Thanks to both of you for clearing that little bit of confusion up for me. I have a habit of over-thinking and over-complicating things lol.

Ahh thank you for letting us know! That's given me so much hope! Has it arrived yet today? We got approved a couple of hours ago and now I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we can get the visa ASAP and fly nex Monday!

YESS IT HAS ARRIVED

It came at 8.30 this morning, I've booked my flight, which is ridiculously expensive and fly from Dublin tomorrow. Beyond excited, but the last two days have been scary, knowing I'm leaving family and a ton of friends behind. It's been emotional!

AHH CONGRATULATIONS!

So fast as well, you've just given me even more hope! Thank you. I can imagine though, I'm on a high at the moment but goodbyes are obviously so hard so the next few days will be interesting I'm sure. I'll be doing the same as you though so I'm hoping that leaving immediately almost gives you less time to worry or get upset about it all as it's go go go. Good luck with everything and have a safe trip!

I am with you on the less time to worry about saying goodbyes crashsle! That was my way of thinking too, no call for delivery for me as of yet and the ceac website still hasn't changed from saying 'ready' for interview :/ eagerly awaiting or that 'issued' message!!
That was so fast for you Deanna and Karl, so happy for you! Wishing you a safe flight and a wonderful new life together

Try not to panic yet! I'm sure it may take a bit longer as you said somewhere about travelling with children? So maybe it just takes them an extra day or two for the additional processing! I had a panic this morning as I checked CEAC waiting for 'issued' and instead found 'administrative processing' and wanted to be sick! Was in full on panic mode and kept refreshing the page every 20 minutes and after 2 hours it switched to 'issued' for me! So hopefully that means you might have luck this afternoon or tomorrow morning!
