good stuff, its a joke that it takes such action, but you've really been messed around more so than most. really pleased for you.

Hi guys, new here. I'd like to add my info to the sheet if someone can help me out? Thanks!

Welcome and happy to help. Just reply with visa type, if this is your first time, interview date and location.

B1/B2, first time being put forward for waiver of ineligibility (have previously been refused a VISA at the embassy), 06/09/2024 (medical required - date of medical 16/09/2024) and London. Thanks for your help.

I've added an entry for you.

All the best.

rmart have you received any notification or reference when your passport was delivered or anything from Mailbox etc?

no, not a thing. I know the emabassy have received it and it being processed but missed my flights now for tomorrow and at great cost too. Its a nightmare.

how long does it normally take?

Bryanlloyds took 13 days. I sent mine in on 2nd, 12 days ago now but there was a bank holiday in there so hoping to hear before friday.

I do warn everyone not to base hopes on single datapoints! If you take the 5 most recent recorded London returns - Brian, Lilio, Scroggs, tookawhile and Steve, the average, both mean (rounded) and median, is 18 days (12,13,18,22 and 24), and none of those had bank holidays in them.

So based on average, next Tuesday. Could be this week, but could also be the following week :-(

Based on my luck, my passport delivery could take months... i'm very well prepared to wait, wait and wait....

We dont know if any of these (except Bryan) paid the premium fee. I suspect the 18, 22 and 24 day ones did not. Only a guess though.

rmart Buzz25 and myself should get our passport back in the same week, probably next week, let's hope we do....

I feel you...and its indeed . Just always leaving us in the dark - Hope you get it back asap!

rmart & Buzz25, I've dropped off my passport at the Mailbox on Thursday last week (8th May) and received confirmation email. I have not received any other communication since then. Did you receive any email notification???

However, current status remains as "Send Documents". Has the status of your case changed at all?
