So I had my interview November 26th and I was approved. I was old 7-10days (I laugh now haha) so I stupidly booked a flight for December 13th as I thought over 2 weeks would be "more than enough time" (again...now I laugh).

So today if the 11th of December and I am in second AP. I have had no movement since 4th December and no emails etc. so I think its safe to say that I will have to change my flight.

The only thing is there is a rebooking fee to change so at this point I'm wondering what the best thing to do is.

Do I?

a) call, pay the rebooking fee and rebook for a date 10 days from now and hope that my visa come before then?

b) cancel the flight and just wait till I actually have the visa to book again?

 

If anyone has any advice or recommendations I would really appreciate it.

 

Kinda going a little stir crazy here from the uncertainty and the waiting (yet again!) It just doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason for the disparity in wait times after approval!!

I'd personally cancel until I have at least a delivery date.

 

Seems london really slows down this time of the year for visas, same day as me and I've heard practically nothing.

Delivery date means nothing if the truck breaks down and they stop their deliveries for the day. That happened to us. Waited all day and called late in afternoon only to be told the truck to me broke down before lunchtime.  

 

Check your visa and make sure yoru name is spelled correctly and all numbers  are accurate. That happens too and it has to go back to London for a new issue. 

 

Stuff happens you least expect. Rare, but you could be the lucky one to win a glitch. 🏆

Hello guys! I have a question thats really getting to me at this point and i need to know what everyone else did. So the ceac website says "your case is ready for your interview when scheduledn if you have already scheduled please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter" so im assuming our application has arrived at the london embassy-  but we have not recieved any type of letter from the embassy and that message was updated from dec 3rd. Did you guys wait for an letter before scheduling the interview?! Even our lawyer is telling us to wait 2-3 weeks for a letter - but i cannot stand the waiting now! We have everything ready and i dont understand what were waiting for ! Please help

I emailed the NVC for my case number and then once I had that, I booked my medical and my appointment online.

Do you have your case number yet? It should start with LND I think. If you have that, you an go ahead and book your medical and interview, you don't have to wait necessarily but its up to you.

Same for me! When are you looking to fly? We're literally getting our passports back on one of the most expensive weeks of the year to travel.

I know its insane!
I'll send you a message 😊

Just received my passport back a couple of hours ago.

Something worth noting is that you don't have to personally be at home to receive it,. I messaged DX customer service as I had to pop out to the store and the delivery hadn't arrived yet, they told me that as long as I left my ID with someone in the house to show it to the courier when it arrived it would be fine.

It's a good job I did cos I was only gone for 30minutes but of course that's when they came...my mum had no problems receiving the delivery for me with my ID. 

 

I fly out on Wednesday and then we get to start a whole other process but at least we will be together!!
