So from the recent interviews, I thought it might be useful to log the grand arrival of the glorious Visa! That way people can have a general idea of when to expect it or to see if there is a pattern or not.

I'm sure like me, everyone got told a 7-10 day turnaround although it seems an average turnaround is 3 days. I just thought this might be helpful!

Oooh I have an update! :) My guy just forwarded me a text he got:

"DX Secure has scheduled your US Embassy item ########## for delivery by the arranged time on 01/08/2012."

So, if the text can be trusted and all goes well, that means he'll have his visa in-hand exactly 7 days after the interview :dance:

Whoopeeee!!!

The loveliest courier ever arrived today at 10am with a large package full of 4 brown envelopes and 4 passports. He did well to find my parents house which is off the beaten track and we had a lovely chat about his daughter emigrating to Australia :)

Once inside me and my 5 year old daughter looked through the passports and we both cried with joy and excitement (and relief for me!) when we saw our visas stuck in there!!!

We fly next Thursday to New York :)

hahahaha! Same here Kate, the courier thought I was 18 (33...) you can use a bank card too, I did.

I'd check the tracking online from your receipt as that was updated a day before I got my text! I'd also be prepared for it to arrive tomorrow :)

Exciting!!!!
