Courier timeframes

My fiancee was approved yesterday at her interview at the London Embassy. We want to book flights for 5 weeks from now but are worried about getting the documents back in time. Can anyone tell me how long it's taken to get their documents back from the embassy?

I would just wait until visa was in hand and checked for errors.  Good luck.

wait till visa in hand

I would imagine the norm is 10 to 14 days.

 

How long it will be for you I have no idea.

Mine was received on the Thursday after a Monday interview (last month) so 4 days. There’s a thread with timelines from others somewhere if you search. 
 

But I concur with the above  - either wait for the visa to be in hand before booking flights, or make sure you book flexible flights in case you need to change the date. 
 

Good luck.

I had my interview on the 22nd and my passport is due to arrive on the 29th, a week exactly for us. It's may take longer depending on holidays, location etc.

 

We have flights already booked (assuming this would take longer) on the 27th September but American Airlines has the option to change for a fee/the difference in flight price so we're going for that route (even if I won't be on the return, it's just cheaper)
