How Much Time Do I Have?
« on: August 04, 2009, 05:15:05 PM »
I know this might be a really simple question, but my brain isn't working today.  Once you apply for and pay for your spouse visa online, how much time do you have to get your documents and biometrics turned in?

You can book your biometrics whenever it's convenient for you based on what's available on their online scheduling bit. But, once you've done the biometrics, you have 14 days to get your documents to the consulate.

OK thanks so much kitten.  I'm not ready to apply for my visa yet but I wanted to know if there would be time to get my husband's passport in the mail after I applied online.

This probably goes without saying, but if he is sending his passport, DO NOT use Royal Mail.  He should use FedEx/DHL/UPS so that it can be tracked and then you will have it within 2 days or so.

Yeah that was the plan.  Thanks for the heads up.
