How long to get your passport back london embassy
I Went on the 7th for my Interview (H1 visa) I am still waiting for my passport back nothing on the courier site to track. Tried to speak with a human being at the embassy but just got an android. What periods have people had to wait for their passports as? this seems a little long.
I had (yes i know before you say it) a flight booked but had to reschedule hoping I dont have to reschedule again

Don't know what to suggest, I hope the others can advise you.
How sodding frustrating for you.

I thought 12 days would have been enough to apply a stamp, but this seems to be a theme hours to wait and one stupid question, days to wait for one simple stamp. Oh well I am sure Virgin will cherish the extra 90 pounds reschedule fee.

They have to run a final security check before printing the visa sticker; could be a hold up in Washington DC (there was one holiday day in there).. could be any number of reasons.
