Does anyone know anything about the options of the courier service used for delivering the visa after the interview.I saw a message mentionning paying an additional fee to increase the rapidity of delivery.Anyone know the costs and how fast you get the visa if you pay the extra? From TracyMike

did you post this in the UK regional forum first? did it get moved here or did you post it here first? if you didn't post it there, i'd try it there.

(edit: and now this seems to have been moved to the UK forum. which is awesome. and yet i'm oddly confused.)

I wasn't aware you could expedite the visa delivery, but we didn't, and it only took 7 days to get back to us.

At any rate, since the courier service is contracted, by SMS, you may want to contact them regarding expedition fees:

SMS on 08709 501 760 <-- this is the number for them I found on the London Embassy site.

Here is also a FAQ which has information regarding the interview and courier service: http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/niv/interview.html

Perhaps someone else can give you better information. This is all I've found.

Thanks for your reply. Seems the Courier service options only refer to the time the visa is delivered the next day. Before 8AM additional £20, before 10AM additional £10 up to 12 PM additional £5.It wont really expedite aything by much as the London Embassy processing can still take the 5 days from date of Interview.Thank you for replying and your help.Good Luck.Mike
