TRV Online application from USA - Passport stamping timeline

[aravinda]

Hi everyone,

I applied for a TRV visa online from the USA 15 days ago. I understand from the other forum threads that it might take up to one month to hear from them asking for the passport.

Once I hear from them, if I send my passport via overnight mail to them, in how many days do they typically return the passport stamped?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me on this query.

Regards.

Received notification for sending passport - 03-15-2013
My passport reached Los Angeles Consulate on Monday (03-18-2013) - 11:40 AM
LA Consulate stamped it on Tuesday (03-19-2013) and sent it to USPS - 03:30 PM
I received passport back on Wednesday (03-20-2013) morning 10:35 AM

LA Consulate is faster than others.

Anyone have a timeline for New York?

Does anyone at all have timelines from when they provided their passport to the NYC Consulate and when they received the passports back stamped. I have not been able to find a single post for that anywhere.
Please help.

I realized there are many people who are in the quest for the current processing times for Visitor Visa, and I am one among many. I feel the agony of anticipation and uncertainity. To mitigate this agony, I took an initative to started a database, where each of us can contribute/submit our processing dates. This could be a great source of information as what to expect.

I humbly would like to request everyone to come forward and help the fellow Visa Seekers in this regard!! Please check the following link and post the information.

Did you provide a return envelope with a tracking number? Have they sent your passport?
