Return Service
« on: March 22, 2012, 04:11:27 PM »
This is a really dumb  ::) last minute question that I think I know the answer to, but I just want to make sure.

I have my biometrics today and then I will send off my documents shortly after. Do I need to pay for a return service to get my documents back? Or was that the $12 that I paid when I paid for my application online?

No, the $12 you paid on top of the application fee was the postage cost of returning your visa and application documents to you... so you don't need to pay for another return service :).

Thank you so much, ksand! If I ever get the chance after this is all over, I'm buying you a beer or coffee or something! You've been a huge help! I appreciate it!  ;D

Ksand answered at lightning speed (does she ever sleep? It is a mystery ;))!  But it's not a dumb question.  I was worried about every last little thing right before sending my stuff in, too.  Getting close now.  ;D

Actually, today the answer is no :P. I've only had 2.5 hours of sleep since yesterday morning (and only 7.5 hours of sleep since Tuesday morning) :(. I worked a night shift last night and then I couldn't sleep this morning... so right now I'm kinda feeling dizzy and lightheaded (and bored because I'm not up to going out anywhere, hence the quick replies)  :-\\\\!

Ugh, I know how that is.  Not good!  Get yourself some sleep.  Otherwise I'll start to think you're not actually human, but some kind of immigration supercomputer here to answer all our silly questions, day or night.  :P

(Insomnia sucks, though.  I hope you feel better soon!)

I just wanted to wish you good luck aricai!
 I applied and mailed all 9 lbs of evidence in this week, and did wonder about that and the retuen service. But it did say return so its one less thing I'll worry about.
