- is applying 2-3 mo in advance too early?
- how long does it take to process the visa and have the passport return to you? is it within the 15 business days stated?
- was it more effective to attend in person to drop off materials or no difference from doing everything by post?
VFS office is virtually unreachable unless you pay $$ for phone calls.
if no replies, I will create new thread for visibility
My cousin applied for a visa at the San Francisco office earlier this year. He said it took 6 weeks to get the visa. He dropped everything off by post.
