I'll be keeping my eye out for your update. 

 

I can't stop looking at the visa. I've checked it so much to ensure there's no typos or anything. Unfortunately I didn't get electronic processing so I've got the big clunky envelope to hand over at my POE

I'm worried about getting a damaged envelope as I cannot afford another trip to London to get it resealed lol I'll be posting an update for sure!

Thankfully mine came all intact, I collected from the courrier place (sketchy single door, middle of an industrial estate) and was so nervous about that. 

 

The London trips are definitely an issue, although if it's damaged I believe you'd be able to arrange a DX collection and delivery, when I called to ensure my stuff was ready for collection one of the options was about sending documents to London for the US Embassy so. 

 

But likelihood is you won't even have to think of that and it'll be Visa In Hand, Happy dancing! You may not even get an envelope yet.

Never heard of a digital option...that would be handy as one less thing to worry about forgetting when heading to the airport lol 

I think i will be the same as you though, constantly looking at it when it arrives. It still doesn't feel real that it's all gone through!

Yeah I've heard a few people mention they're trying the electronic process but I wasn't that lucky. I don't know if it's only for special cases or not but 

 

It really doesn't, we've spent so long saying:

"Just one more stage?"

"One more step"

"Few more weeks and we'll hear something"

"Maybe today"

"One more step"

"Last step now" 

 

Then all of a sudden, it's here. I was driving back and it hit me like, wow, it's done. We can be together, I know there's still an abundance of paperwork etc but that doesn't matter. We've done it then and are filing it together. It's a crazy thought! So happy for you and glad you had a similar experience :)

So far I've only noticed spouse visas getting the electronic processing, but I haven't paid a lot of attention to that.

Unless your package is so ripped open that you could take out a paper, alter it, and slip it perfectly back in, then no worries. A small tear on the corner is okay. It's happened before.

Twice already today. Downside to having a Friday interview means they probably did nothing else with it and will start on it today.

What does your status say now? I'm hoping for a quick turn around!
