Hello everyone,

I was issued my visa yesterday afternoon (when my status changed). I am not sure what the procedure is next and what to expect/do in order to receive the visa. Asfar as I remember i did not pay for the visa to be sent to my home,instead while paying my MRV fee i selected the visa to be sent to Southampton which is close to me. I now wish I had it sent to my home. Will I receive an e-mail/message regarding the visa arriving with the courier service? Is there a way i can have it sent to my home?

If anyone can help me with this then i would be very grateful. :)

When you scheduled your interview it should have asked you a specific place 'option' for your visa to be sent too. Yes, if you gave your cell phone number you should receive a text when the courier is going to deliver. Of course, I was dealing with the Philippines but I would think the process is the same pretty much everywhere. Anyone else?

I paid mine online together with the MRV fee. DX courier contacted me for delivery options. I had to pay again over the phone as they wouldn't deliver if I don't. I insisted that I already paid online, but all they could tell me was to ask for a refund of the online payment. So yeah, I paid again and I got my visa delivered the day after.

Wait for the call from the courier people. I got the call the day after our ceac status was changed from 'Ready' to 'Issued'. :)

If it's been issued since last week, than the courier should have it and they should be able to tell you where it's at and offer delivery/pick up options for you. I'd recommend contacting them. I don't have the number handy, but I know I've seen it in one of these many threads here in the UK forum on the subject. Best of luck, hope you get your visa in hand soon
