Recent interviewees - do you have your passport yet??

[Novembro 1,763]

So should Ali give a fly date? Will that assist the courier service in returning it to him?

Sorry, I'm only a bystander in this thread, but i want him here asap...sooooooo.

I'm so sorry for your delays with her visa. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys tomorrow.

Thanks so much..Now I need to clean the house like a mad woman before he arrives friday evening

Thanks, but it hasn't really been too bad. Nothing like what I've heard from others in here right now. a few days one way or the other isn't going to really change anything one way or the other. If it does come though tomorrow like they say, then all our current plans can be set, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Really just want to have it in hand by the end of the month

My biggest hope is that the people with earlier interviews get their issues all straightened out. Too many people having to wait past that 10 day window they tell all the applicants after the approval.

So, I finally have an answer for the OP, her interview was on September 17th and we received the Visa on September 25th. It's happy dance day

Best of luck and godspeed to those still waiting.

FINALLY our visa turned to issued after being in AP for almost 2 months. Our wedding is on October 7th, which means he would need to have his passport by Friday the 4th, think this is enough time? I've been seeing some people get if in 3 days but some having to wait a little longer. We only have 7 working days to work with...

There is absolutely no way anyone on here can guarantee you'll get your passport back in 7 working days. You've read this thread - you'll have seen that people have been waiting 10+ days too and 3 hasn't been the norm since the new courier system kicked in and created quite a lot of confusion.

You'd probably do better to assume worst-case and be surprised by something better. You might want to consider moving your wedding date back to reduce the likelihood of disappointment.

A week (give or take a day) has been fairly common after it says issued recently. Of course I do understand that your case has been far from common. I hope this is the real deal for you and that you get your VISA very soon.

EDIT TO ADD: the above post which came in while I was typing is good advice. At this point, I wouldn't "expect" anything to go according to plan. If you have any possible contingency plans, I'd consider being ready for those and just hope for the best.

Hi does anyone know when you get your passport delivered back does it have to be sent to your home address or can you have it sent to your work address, I am just trying to be ahead of the game and juggling holidays with work for medical, interview and now if I will need time off to wait for my passport to be returned.

thank you

anne

I had mine sent to parents address c /of my Dad. No problems, bloke did not even ask for ID of his, or mine, nothing, just came to their address and got him to sign.

When you go through the whole MRV fee payment thing, after you pay you will be offered home delivery, get it sent where you want it to go.

thank you, is the payment thing when I have packet 4 or 3, I am still trying to figure out the new form and the reciept number thing as it is not working with my DOB, its all changed so much as my visa journey is taking forever, I came away for about a month as nothing was happening and had all my documents ready and was all prepared and now everything has changed so much
