Hello everyone,

I just wanted to check with people what the latest is on time between passports received and visas delivered. According to the Royal Mail ours were delivered to CHC on May 21 - am checking post box everyday but realistically am I looking at next week or longer than that. Am not 100% confident with our postman's ability to deliver our post so it would be good to know when I should start to get worried that it's gone AWOL

Thanks as alway for any comments

As you can see from my timeline, ours took 15 days from delivery to delivery!

Trust the postie? Are you mad?

They say allow 6 weeks until you chase up. The hand deliver 2 weeks option was the only one for us.

Our passorts were back to us in 23 days, that included posting them to Canada which generally takes 7 days!

Were rather inclined to agree, hand delivery is the best option if you can afford the time. We had a nice day out in London, decent meal & ride back home on the train.

Cheers,
Andy & Jackie, off to BC on the 31st July

Am sure the letter that came with the request said we should get it back within 30 days....15 days and counting..........this is agony

Hi

This is agony - our timeline!!!!!!!!!!!! and we're not alone.

Be grateful you've got this far, your PR will arrive very soon - unlike our medical requests.

Cheers

HI,

I think it specifies 30 working days, ie 6 weeks. Mine came back in about 4.

It will come, and then you Will celebrate!!! Try not to worry.

Hand delivery for us...we weren't trusting our passports to the post. It was easy enough for us though as we live close to London and Mrs GT works in London.

It would have been a real b*gger for us and v expensive to have done the hand delivery option but for some reason I had got it into my head it was more like 2-3 week wait for the postal option rather than 6 weeks (in the excitement of actually getting PPR clearly didn't read the form right). Wished to heck I had gone for hand delivery now

PS. Apologies to those who are waiting for medicals etc. for this whining. I can remember when I would have given an arm and a leg to only have to wait 6 more weeks

Keep with it - it will happen for you

Aaaaaggghh - am now officially losing my mind

It's now 21 days and counting and guess what, I've been asked to go on a business trip overseas next week so unless it comes in the next few days am going to have to explain why I can't go and why I haven't got a passport (they don't know am emigrating yet!)

like karen says..count your blessings that you have jumped the queue..plenty of ppl here whos AOR are way b4 yours still waiting 4 medicals...spare a thought 4 all those whos frustrations are far greater than yours!!!

Oh please Simon,
I was just going for the mid morning coffee!! You have put me right off. Perhaps if you said something like this everyday I could lose a bit of weight and stay away from the biscuits

Really? Beware the biscuits.
