Hi all

I have finally got the instruction letter from London on what to do after my Waiver got approved. I have to re-do chest x-ray and blood tests. I will be going to get the medical done next Friday (26th July) and planning to send the passport on Saturday.

Does anyone have an idea on how long should I expect to have my passport back with the visa on it? Some people say it can take 7-10 days, do they follow this timeline or it actually takes longer?

Thank you all again!

Assuming you have no other flags, I'd expect within 10 days of your CEAC status saying "issued" (altho once it says that, it's usually half that time).

It only tends to take longer if you have a flag that makes you go into AP, like originally being from another country the US thinks is high fraud or spending a lot of time in one of those countries.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know how long it takes for the medical to reach the embassy? I can't remember when I did the first time...looking at your timeline it looks like you should be receiving your passport soon?!

4 working days assuming it's all clear.

And yes! Mine is due for delivery tomorrow morning (CEAC went to issued on the 16th).

how do you know your passport will be arriving tomorrow?

When you interview and leave your passport, they give you a tracking code for the courier company (DX). It doesn't work right away, but eventually it becomes live and it says when the delivery is due. I also got an SMS on Friday.

I assume when you send yours, they have your phone # so they can SMS you in the same way.
