Sorry another question. .do I make arrangements with courier service I put on my ds-160 form ?

Yes - so long as that's the courier service indicated on the London web site... otherwise, no.

With respect may I suggest you read the instructions that came with the email but if these seem confusing to you that you read previous posts on this forum that have answered that question many times recently.

Hello again

Was just wondering when my current visa (12 month) one expires, how do I go about re applying for another? thanks.

In the same way you did the current one, and remember that you will still need to wait for the waiver, so it could be a good idea, if you need to travel, applying again.

It took so long for it to get approved I can't even remember where I started lol would it be with an ESTA application? or go straight to booking an embassy appointment?

If you required a visa and a waiver of ineligibility, it's unlikely that you're eligible for ESTA.

Well after a wait of more than 14 months, my Husband has received the email requesting his passport (2nd Waiver). Patience is indeed a virtue!
Good luck to everyone waiting and thank you for the advice.

Thank you for sharing your update and congratulations on it finally arriving!

I'm so happy to hear this news Tweety23, I often think about you and your husband. Not sure I would have your patience but there wasn't anything else you guys could do than wait. Thank you for sharing with us.

Great news Tweety23, wow what a long wait, I can imagine the frustration you felt and the thought the email might never arrive. Hope you have already applied well in advance for his 3rd waiver.
Enjoy the moment and have a great trip.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! We had all but given up to be honest. Hoping for a two year Visa but expecting another one year - and yes he'll have to apply for the next one now...!

Thank you serenawell! Two Christmases later and we're sorted!! 😉👍🏻

I'm pleased to hear that it all got sorted eventually, however your wait time isn't typical.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that either your husband's case has unusual aggravating factors or the case file got lost and forgotten about somewhere between the consulate and the ARO.

Hopefully he has better luck on his next application.
