Passport to London Visa Office Timeline

[Ok2018]

Nothing Bro, they haven't returned or acknowledged the recall email we sent.

Do they usually acknowledge? From the ones I've heard, they just send them a mail that their passport has been dispatched. I don't know how true it is. You may hear from them tomorrow

Yeah, but they responded to an enquiry mail we sent on April 6, last week (April 13 - responded on this date). I will keep you updated as it goes, hopefully they stamp the passports or return it early, so as not to delay one's depature

You can imagine and it's over 1 month you submitted. I called vfs Uk and the person I spoke with insisted that I can't get my passport back until it's stamped. I asked how long does it take to stamp, he said 2 to 4 weeks max. I also confirmed if vfs UK was having backlogs, he said yes and could exceed 4 weeks sometimes but not common.

Good evening great mind, how're you doing hope great please can anyone assist me on how to go about getting Visa to Canada

Please did they give you a reason? Did you get a mail saying : "the decision envelope has been dispatched "? Do you have your passport back now?

Update, got my passport and documents back along with a lousy non personalized letter saying they are sending it back cos of backlog or other reasons

Sent the passport to another VO. It's still on its way.

Wow....when sending it back, did they still call it your decision envelope has been dispatched? This lost days, how will IRCC be notified for a waiver?

There's no waiver, you'll ask other VO if they can still accept your documents to stamp. Yeah the vfs notification still called it a Decision envelope even though there was no decision

This is wickedness!!!! Wow
When you say ask other VO, you don't want to use your original VO?

Hello dear, thanks for the update and hope you’ve received your visa now . I find myself in the same situation and I have to travel in by midJune and my passport was sent on 12 May and as at now no acknowledgement of receipt by the visa office. Has anyone been able to request for it to be returned to them and how did they do so please?

 

[Chips0404]

I also sent mine on March 28 and I haven’t heard anything since. No acknowledgment, no tracking ID. When I called they told me it will take 3-4 weeks to get tracking ID and another 3-4weeks to get it stamped. So confused right now

Hi hope you are doing good. Have you received it now please and how long did it take? I'm in a similar situation now and wondering whether I cam ask for it to be returned since i have to travel soon?

Just send them a mail asking for your passport to be recalled based on your personal reasons.
LDNIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca

But when you say no acknowledgement, vfs didn't give you a tracking number? Maybe you should try by mailing vfs to ask if your passport is still with them. If they haven't sent it to IRCC, request they send it back to you. If they don't respond to your mails on time, call them, just make sure you have enough airtime on your phone.

Okay thanks for the info. Did you send yours to the Lagos office and have you received it now?
