Confused! An email from MANILVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk

Hi guys! I want to ask what does this mean,


UNCLASSIFIED: UK Visa Application: UKBA-Manila Visa Hub

Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days. Applicants in Australia and New Zealand should allow 3 days before tracking their documents via the local post. UKBA-Manila Visa Hub

We were applying for Fiance Visa last December 13 and I got this email yesterday!

Hi John, congrats again when she will be travelling to UK? What aircraft will you use?

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive, I'm kind of worried cos I live around Surigao del Sur and there's no direct trip from Butuan. Just being impatient here, lol

Cheers,
Lay

[Arthur Little]

Patience is a virtue, Lay! ... fear not, though, it'll come ... believe me!

[blessed_ekim0826]

[Drewturner]

Does anyone know what courier UKBA are using? Cos it's been 7 days since I got an email from them. I wanted to call but I can't find a contact #, pretty please!

Thank you

Better to ask the Embassy which courier they used and when the
package was despatched

then go from there.

[tiger31]

what a nightmare that would be, go through all the trouble to get a visa and some idiot loses your passport and documents, hope they arrive for you soon.

I did read somewhere that some areas will take more than a week. Basically the more remote your town or village the longer it will take for the VISA to arrive. Manila was 24-48 hours CDO was 5- 7 days then I read upto a week or more in other places. The weather and other factors affect the speed of service.

It will come in the end although waiting is hard!

It has been despatched on the 20th, but I will call the embassy

It's very hassle, we can't plan anything yet cos I want to see my documents back 1st before planning. We're so stressed out.

I live 4 to 5 hour drive from Butuan City, so it must be longer to arrive.

By the way Songz, when is your wife's flight?

Thank you!
