Hi Everyone,aspire said:guys,
How about if passports will be handed personally to London CHC for visa stamping. How long do you have to stay in London before you will get your passport with the visa in it? Thank you.
This info is very usefull for people who will be submitting their passports for visa stamping at the London Visa Office. As I have experienced myself last week.
I submitted my passports for stamping on Thursday the 10th Feb, and I was given a receipt to collect passports the 2nd Thursday, however since I needed my passport urgently, and couldn't really wait for the 2 weeks to finish I went the following Thursday to check if the passports were ready, and to my great surprise and excietment they were actually ready, and I collected them and I'm now back home in Dubai.
An advsie would be if you really need your passport try to be there early on the day of submittion probably by 1 o'clock max, as probably what they do is issue passports to a certain number of people and usually if you are there first you might be able to get it the following THURSDAY.
NOW no need to ask them if it will be ready in one week as they will say no, and realy on the day of submittion they rarely talk to you, they only ask you for your file number to write on the receipt, and the envelope they will be putting your passports, form and photos in, so it is highly recomended that you actually make sure you have everything you need to give them as they will not receck these documents before putting them in the envelope. If you go the following week for collection again no need to tell them you came in last week, they will just ask for your receipt number and the receipt and if they have it they will handed it over to you.
That's it for now, if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
