Tourist Visa (TRV) - When to get the passport back from LA Office?

[harvinder25]

LA office received the passport on april 8th. I did not send any return envelopes with the passports (which was a mistake i did) so i am guessing they will send it back via "regular mail"..as per their website. I am still waiting for the passport. Does anyone knows how long does it takes to get the passport back via "regular US mail"? Please advise.

I don't think you'll make it :S
I Submitted one week ago, USPS return tracking not active yet (they haven't sent it back). I think passport turnaround time for LA right now is ~10 to 15 days
