I have attended and been successful at my immigrant visa interview. I would like to know other members experience in the actual time they had to wait to receive their passports via the courier after the interview date.

Time stated by the embassy is 2 weeks, but it could be sooner. Please can other members state the actual time it took in their case and particularly if it was sooner than the 2 weeks.

thank you

2 weeks is pretty much the average. Might be quicker, might take longer. YMMV.

soopahoop

So how long did you wait for yours. 2 weeks, less than 2 weeks or longer than 2 weeks?

Your 1st response didn't actually answer the question. I was looking for answers from people who could remember the actual time it took. I know what is quoted.

I sent my application December 19 2014 and it arrived January 10 2015., so about 3 weeks. Sent daughter's application the same day as mine and I just checked her application status and her passport is due to arrive this week - 6 weeks approx. I chose not to expedite the applications as I had no plans to travel until February.

Hardly matters since it varies.

BunnyGirl

I know it didn't. Because our timescales will match?

The average is 2 weeks.

He's not applying for a passport, he's waiting for his to be returned to him after his immigrant visa interview.

I was approved on a Tuesday and passport was delivered Sunday so ~5 days for me. This was in October last year.

I'm sure it'll vary for everyone though. I know you're probably excited and want to hear everyone saying it'll come sooner but you never know.

soopahoop

Thank you for that answer. Just what I need to get a view of the real average time.

Hotscot

The average is two weeks.

soopahoop

Thanks,

How long did yours take ? and can you copy me the data you used to get to your average please.

I.e. How many people responded to you with their actual time for return of passport and what were these values in days.

Thank you

Hotscot

Why do you want it?

But no, you can't get my data.

Soopahoop,

Are you getting an immigrant visa based on marriage to a US citizen?
