we got the email (confirming visa granted) 8th Aug & passports back 18th Aug (Thurs). I'm sure we did not post the passports until the Saturday (13th)

We posted ours 4 weks, yes 4 weeks ago. Apparently theyve had problems with some system at the High Commission. Weve been told ours should arrive any day now...

Yes, I am excited and getting a bit anxious with all that we've got to get done. Shippers coming next Wednesday, last night sorted what clothes to take in case and what to ship, and sorted some paperwork. Then realised just what a huge job this is and maybe should have started a bit sooner!!!

Re: How long do the passports take?
Our turn around from the high commission in london was 5 days. You should be able to track with the special delivery barcodes? Hope you get sorted soon.
