Does anybody know the normal timeframe for documents/passport to be shipped back once a decision has been made?

I'm constantly refreshing the UPS website, but it doesn't look like the return shipping has been activated yet.

Soo... decided to check my spam inbox (just in case) and low and behold at flipping 9:48am I got my decision email! <does the happy dance>

All of their emails had no issue going to my regular inbox. But this one goes to spam? I nearly had a heart attack lol

Thanks everyone. I was shocked when I saw it go into my junk folder, but glad I looked. Now just to wait for UPS to trigger so I know when to be off to get my passport. :)

We just got our package and passport back today.... and we're APPROVED!

I didn't get ANY sleep whatsoever in the last couple of days as I was so worried! We are so hugely relieved now!

Congratulations! Have an extra celebratory drink or two and I hope you catch up on sleep soon.

Congrats! Sadly I am quite annoyed with VFS and UPS lol I've had my tracking up since yesterday. Refreshing it. Suddenly last night a second tracking number showed up. So this morning i checked and kept looking all day. Then about an hour ago, I noticed an 'Exception' because they had tried to deliver it today under a DIFFERENT tracking number that wasn't even initially attached to my UPS account. <sigh> So it will be attempted tomorrow and I'm taking the day off from work to get it. I swear, if it isn't one thing it's another.

Ah, i'm sorry to hear that! Very frustrating.

I suspect VFS are having problems with their UPS account as the delivery guy this morning had two packages - one containing our original documents and the other our photocopies - he complained that they both had the same tracking number (apparently this isn't allowed) and he seemed cautious about letting me have them! I kind of snatched them out of his hand and said "oh, haha, that's weird" and shut the door before he could take them away.
