Busa1400

Yes I am sure it is - you get a good period of time to send it off - but it is quick turnaround

I was like you - getting nervous, wondering why it was taking so long, etc - then, out of the blue, it arrived. The turnaround from sending my passport back for the visa was really quick - less than a week But equally, you have 3 months after approval to send your passport back for the visa, so if it is tight, maybe go to Greece first, then send it in.

Just for the sake of completeness My Interview at London Embassy was on 15th June 2023 I received an email that went into Spam 5th January 2024 stated approved and passport requested for Visa

Morning All, I have been interviewed at the American Embassy for a renewal of my Visa Waiver and told that it would be recommended to be renewed. I was handed back my Passport and understand that my application along with the recommendation goes to Homeland Security, they assess and then once passed the American Embassy requests my passport and the Visa is put in. I was interviewed about 4 weeks ago - am I right in my assumptions (I cant remember process from last time accurately but believe this is it ) and is there anyway to check progress ? Thankyou

Just a quick update - can anyone say howe long it is from interview to them asking for your passport ? especially on a waiver renewal ?

Thankyou - most appreciated

Morning All, I have been to the American Embassy in London and had an interview to renew my waiver visa. I had a conviction 20 years ago. My last application was successful first time and I received a 5 year visa, and I was told this time that they would recommend that it was renewed. I was handed back my Passport and Docs and told that they would be in touch once it had been considered. I seem to remember this being the case before - but cant remember the process or how long it takes - can anyone help Cheers mick
