Should I be worried???
 

I sent our passports to london on the 1st of Oct 2009, and I know they arrived because I had a tracking number. It is now the 2nd of Nov and I still have not got them back, so should I be worried.....

Some people have said that they have gone to the London office and collected them within two weeks. I can not do this because I dont live in england. I have been to the official website and it does say that the Visa office will use other methods of delivery for overseas applicants due to the postal strike, so am I panicking too early?

Is anyone else waiting?

Hi. I'm waiting too. However, London received my passport on 22nd Oct. A friend who recently went through all this said it took 3 weeks from the date London got her passport until she got it back here in Canada.

You should give the London Office a call, (44–20) 7258–6600.

I was hoping to get mine back next week as I'm desperate to start working. I'm sure you won't have to wait too much longer. Keep us updated mate :starsmile:

Mine took just over 3 weeks and i only live about 10 miles from the CIC building.

I'd give it another week and then chase it up.

Thanks for the replies, but guess what!!!

Wow i cant believe it, after all this time, Im in shock, its as if I've passed a major exam! I have to go for a rum and coke and process whats just happened. You wait and wait and wait and wait and when the waiting ends you dont know how to react....... I guess it takes a while.
