Thanks Bader. How about authorizing somebody to collect the passport directly from the visa office? Would this help.
Here is the details for that
If you would like someone else to collect your passport(s) and visa(s), that person must present:
the receipt that was issued to you,
a signed letter from you authorizing them to collect your passport(s), and
one piece of government-issued identification that includes their name and photograph.
You must ask the VO now as pickup passport facility is for those who drop the passport in personal at Visa Office. You might ask the VO they may ask the documents of the Authorize person who will pick the passport. Lastly the time duration for pick up facility is below :-
Our in-person service to submit and pick up passports is open on Thursdays between 2 pm and 3 pm at 38 Grosvenor Street, London, UK. You may submit your package in person at this time. You will be given a receipt acknowledging that we have received it. You must show this receipt to collect your passport(s) and visa(s). Because we require two weeks to issue your visa(s), you may only collect your passport(s) on the second Thursday after you submit your package.
This service will not operate when the High Commission is closed. Our website shows our holiday closures (these may differ from UK bank holidays). If Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve falls on a Thursday, then this service will also be closed on that day, even if the High Commission remains open.
Good Luck
