We got our decision made email on Mon morning (UK time), paid for Next Day Air delivery and the UPS tracker only updated at around midnight on Wed (UK time). Not really sure what the hold up was since we know people who got their decision email later than us received their passport a day earlier, but just wanted to reassure you guys that it’s normal! Once UPS had the package it was delivered very close to their estimated delivery time
Yeah, it all just depends on how fast they can get each visa issued and picked up by UPS. Could just be something as simple as the person packaging up your documents having more visas in their pile to get through than the person who is packaging up someone else’s documents.
Remember, the timing on the shipping service you’ve paid for only starts once the courier has picked up the package from the scanning hub.
If it takes the scanning hub a few days to get the package ready to be picked up yet, then you’ll be waiting a few days for your passport.
Usually they’re pretty good at getting it ready within a day or so of the decision made email, but sometimes it can take longer.
For those who have just received their decision email today, I would allow until maybe middle of next week to get your passport back (but hopefully it will arrive sooner).
