London (United Kingdom) VFS Passport Submission Timeline

[mj_canada]

I have received notification for dispatch of the remaining 2. So it's on its way. Should get both by tomorrow .
I paid courier service charges for individual 4 separately.

That is great news. Congratulations. I think I made a mistake of only paying for 1 person. VFS did not raise any query or anything. So, I am sure what will they do when they received passports back from London VO!

Hi Guys, thank you for this wonderful thread. I am new here, and I was wondering what is the latest statistic about the processing (visa printing) times at London VO. I just submitted our passports, and wondering when should we expect them back!

Thank you MJ.

Per timeline (I will update mine as I go until ppt is received), however so far, range has been btw 2-4wks for those not holding visa exempt passports/ or not from visa exempt countries. Timeline seems to be different for those from visa exempt countries (faster for those in this category)

Thank you, that is helpful. Yes, mine is the case of visa-required countries.

I would say 2-4 weeks. Recently we have had many bank holidays so past 2 months has been around 15 working days looking at peoples timeline. If you look at the recent posts you can see people who got it within 11-15 working days so 3-4 weeks with weekends.

Thank you Haris. Okay that sounds reasonable. I had the same feeling when I glanced at the recent posts.
