time between interview and visa returned in passport

Hi all,

I was just wondering in peoples' experience how many days it actually takes to have your passport returned to you with the visa after your interview?

Many thanks

Depends which embassy you are going through.

I should have clarified I was referring to the London Embassy, anyone mind sharing their recent experience?

Thanks!

Most have them within a week. Some as long as two weeks. Longer than 2 weeks then get a little concerned. The recent holdup because of the computer has thrown "normal" out the window and it is even more of a guess. Once that holdup and backlog clears it should be back to what the embassy says 5-10 working days. If you weren't born in the UK...could be 4-8 weeks or 6 months. Many factors in play and no immigration timeline can be depended on.

You have no visa info, country, or timeline so hard to know if you are awaiting a delivery or just curious about what to expect next year.

Mine took 4 days but that was last year, BTW I disagree with one of the previous posts, you posted in the UK forum so it was safe to assume you were referring to the London embassy, no need to apologise in my opinion.

When I got mine back a few months ago it was 3-4 working days and anecdotally most people in May/June were getting the same but like Nich-Nick says the computer issue is a spanner in the works at present!

thank you for those replies, the embassy are now saying 7-10 days it seems, so I should probably just except 10 days at the worst, i just wanted to see if they actually were taking that long or giving themselves space just in case.
