Hi all

Please help!

I am trying to find out when I will recieve my visa, as the DX secure courier cant tell me, they said it may be up to another 2 weeks wait and I was hoping on flying out on Aug 21st!!!

I had my interview on July 26th, but had the incorrect birth certificate for k1 visa. So, I had to get it and then courier it to London with my passport and then wait for it to be returned to me. The last I heard was Wednesday last week (4th august) when I was told the embassy had recieved it that morning.

I really need a phone number to contact someone at the embassy to find out, because I really need to know in order to rearrrange my flights etc (and for my sanity...)

Any info greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Call the rather expensive line at 02074-99-9000. It's £1.20/min. Sorry, that's the only thing I know of. Once it's issued it usually takes a day or two for the courier to get it to you.

Hi there,

Well i'm having the same issue as you as to when will i get my passport back. I did the same thing as you did by calling DX & that was a waste of time as they can't help you until the receive the passport from the embassy.. I ended up called the rather expensive line to find out what's happening. My passport has been transferred over which could either be good news or it could be denied.. But i was told i would have my passport back within 5-7 working days which today is now the 6th day. But the woman told me that it takes about 5-10 working days if i don't get my passport by thursday or fri then i have to call them back & they will give me a number to call them direct..

Not sure if that will help you any or not..

D

We first met online 2004, but things started to get serious in Dec 2007. Made my first visit to the USA in march 2008 for 2 weeks. Then returned again in Aug 2008 for 3 months.. Then i came back to the UK for 5 months to return back to the USA April 2009 for another 3months.
