If your in the UK I think the average waiting time has been stated to be around 3 weeks.

God I hope not! I sent mine off on June 13th (got there on the 15th). I'll let you know when I get it back. I fly out to Toronto on June 30th, so I am praying it gets back to me in time! I sent them a letter begging for quick turn-around, now I wait and see....

It took us about two weeks. What a terrific feeling when they finally arrived with the visas inside!

Did they send you an email when they had posted it from London? Wondering if you tracked it during its journey or looked it up afterwards.
