Hi All,

Has anyone here had a recent experience of how long it takes to get a British Passport renewed, if mailed in from the USA? Mine has time before it expires, but i travel often for work, and I have a little time before my next international trip - so i thought i might get it renewed!

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Jay

The official information says 6 weeks, but that's going to be them giving the longer-end of the expected times. I'd plan for that, just in case.

* I-130/CR-1 visa by Direct Consular Filing in London
3rd May 2013 - Married in London
7th May 2013 - I-130 filed
4th June 2013 - NOA2 (approved)
16th July 2013 - Interview (approved)
30th July 2013 - POE San Francisco
29th August 2013 - 2 year green card arrived

 

* How? Read my DCF London I-130 for CR1/IR1 Spouse Guide

* Removal of Conditions (RoC) via California Service Centre
1st May 2015 - 90 day RoC window opened
6th May 2015 - I-751 filed (delivered 8th May, cheque cashed 18th May)
7th August 2015 - Approved / GC production
27th August 2015 - 10 year green card arrived

* Naturalisation (Citizenship) via Phoenix Lockbox

* San Francisco Field Office:
1st May 2016 - N-400 window opened
20th August 2016 - N-400 filed
26th August 2016 - NOA1
13th September 2016 - Biometrics

12th January 2017 - Biometrics (again)
30th May 2017 - Interview (approved)
7th June 2017 - Oath

i travel a lot for work, and i don't know if it will get back in time. There are some horror stories at the moment with renewals.

Has anyone done the one day service? Is it straightforward?
