Hi

As the title says really, how long are people waiting for their passports to be returned? I had to send ours off after being approved in principle as I travel a lot with work. Has anybody else had to do this and how long did they have to wait?
Sorry, I'm probably being very impatient, but I just really want to see those stickers!!! :)

MattAssuming that you are talking about the London office, I received the Approval In Principle email on Friday 13th June, they had the payment form by Monday 16th June.

They debited my card on Tuesday 24th June and called me immediately (within minutes going by the timestamp on the receipt). I picked all the documents up in person the same day.

I am sure I read on here someone said that their payment was taken within two days of them sending in the Migrant Levy, although the form does say that it can take four weeks, so I guess it can vary a bit.

Same as you Matt, approved 16.06.08, anxiously waiting for passports. Emailed yesterday and received reply that they would be issued this week. 2 working days left to do so! Would quite like them back now as we're waiting on them for several things.

Carey, I can see that you're probably more in need than me, what with your job offer, I'm sure they'll arrive. Whenever my CO said she'll do something, she does, although she has always been 24 hours late!!

I've just sent an email, so I'll see what comes back tomorrow...fingers crossed!!

Thanks for the replys

We've just had our approval in principle and I sent the Migrant Levy form & pasports with our ITA, so our CO said the processing time for blue stickers is currently two weeks. Hope that helps... :nice1

Received a message from my CO today. And she told me there's a bit of a queue in the issuing department, we'll have to wait another week or 2.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anybody else was waiting.

What is a Country Declaration? There is no mention of this requirement elsewhere :confused:

Is there a standard form for it?

Any thoughts? :o

Thank you....
