Morning all

Just had an email from DIMIA, visa about to be granted!!!! YEE HAH!!!

Could anyone give me a rough idea how long Australia House take to stamp and return passports? My son is off to Spain on Oct 26th and we are going to Florida Nov 7th, would like to go to Aus about the 27th Nov. Not sure whether to send passports before or after holidays. Any experiences gratefully received.

Go Banana's !!

I got ours back within 3 days of posting. I sent them Special delivery and even had the return envelope special delivery as well - the guarenteed before 12pm one.

Good luck. Your're nearly there !!

Firstly congrats

Mine also took 3 days after being posted special delivery (remember to keep a note of your tracking number of the return envelope so you can follow on line).

Well done you.

Passports take no time at all.

And what's more - they look lovely when you get 'em back!!

I hope AHC don't use Norton in their visa stamping PC :scared:

Congrats on the good news.......as the others have said you should be okay using courier service.

Congratulations lindseyden, hopefully i am not far behind you, just having received a pre grant letter, not sure how long they take but is it possible to take the passport to Aus Hse personally, it would be good for me as i only live 30mins from there!!................anybody know?

Hi Cat5

Ireally can't remeber where I read it now, possiibly on their web site, but I seem to remember they don't allow you to take it in person and you have to send it. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you may be right Lindsey, i also think i have read it somewhere too, if thats so, then i would be inclined to take it up there in person (courier style) just to make sure it gets thre safe with no problems!!
