It is my first time to renew visa. YES, regular mail takes longg time to mail back. One of my friend took 11 days to got back< count from date that  issue visa> . For me I mailed out Dec 6 and they got my mail Dec 16. Snail mail

Most ppl in this site said around 30 days so maybe your passport on the way back to you or they will finished your paper so soon. Do you request to send it back via Fedex,too? Pls keep update
PS. According you will reach estimate processing time <30 days> you can email them and ask, they will reply you who reach 30 days
Thanks

 @ icycool..
I got response from them on December 22, 2011 saying my passport was mailed back on December 8, 2011 and till today I haven't received my passport. I had sent the fedex airway bill along with my documents to mail back but the consulate people have used USPS first class mail and I don't know where my passport is at the moment. I am so frustrated and tensed .. Grrrr
