Hi all! A little nervous about the impending lockdown and its impact on getting my passport back...

 

Embassy interview and approved: Wednesday 28 October

Status to administrative processing: Monday 02 November (3 working days after interview)

Status to issued: Tuesday 03 November (1 working day after administrative processing)

 

Is it reasonable to expect an update from the courier, later today, so that I can collect my passport, tomorrow? 

 

For reference: I selected to pickup from a nearby depot. 

 

Thanks!

Yes! You should be fine and should receive it tomorrow at the depot! Lucky you (and we) got in there before lockdown!

Did you upload documents and DQ at NVC?  Or did you take all your documents to the interview because of an expedite or something like that?  If the  latter,  then you had a paper file which would explain the envelope. 
 

 

Oh yeah we skipped the NVC stage so it was all brought into the interview. Makes sense!

No nothing else. Just passport and an information sheet. There is an annotation on the visa stating "IV docs in CCD" which I believe means everything is available electronically.

Oh this is interesting, my husband received a packet not to open.

Any DX action today for you guys? I've got 6 working days from interview.. Hope I haven't cut it to fine. 

Yes, you should be fine. Our tracking says it’s available from today at the depot. My husband is picking up first thing tomorrow on his way to Heathrow so hopefully it’s there. You should be fine with 6 working days. Ours both took 3 working days or 5 calendar days!

Yep, received here as well. We are getting delivered to the depot at Heathrow and looks like it will be there tomorrow. So glad it’s been quick!

Congrats..... 3 days from your interview? 

Interview was Thursday at 11, so really 2 working days.

Very exciting! I asked my husband if he received any info about tracking but he didn’t. Do they just send you a text/email when tracking becomes available?

Just changed to Issued! Woohoo!

Yep, ours has changed as well. It says if your case has been approved, it will be processed and mailed within 2 business days. Fingers crossed. 

Hi both,

Thanks for your replies. I just checked and his status still says ready as well. We just can’t wait for him to be back with us. 

Hi all,

Could you please tell me your experience of how long it took to receive your passport after you were approved at your final interview? My husband was approved Thursday in London and I am trying to figure out if he will be be here for our daughters birthday next weekend. He was told 1-2 weeks, so trying to get a feel for exact timing. Thanks in advance!
