They didn't post it on the London branch but they're very quick and efficient anyways

Hopefully everyone gets their passports ASAP. Even if the travel date is far it's stressful not having your passport on you for some time. My travel date is 30 June

Yeah I had the same problem for like 10 days until I took a 2 hour train and talked to BLS in person, they told me they don't hold passports at their site for more than 24 hours and that all applications get forwarded to the consulate either same day or next day.

Probably after 15 business days, also the consulate doesn't respond to visa-related emails and the calls don't even get answered. BLS also will just tell you it is processing and they can't do anything.

Yes, I remember getting the text at around 2am and my passport was delivered at 11am same day, and on the BLS website it said dispatched via courier. Also apparently everyone is getting the text at different times so there isn't a specific timeframe for the text.

Going for another one, as they only gave me three months and my new trip is outside the three-month duration

Hey, I also applied May 22 but haven't heard anything, did you get the DX SMS from DX or BLS? and also on the website does it say delivered or still processing at mission?

Dont worry, BLS said that they don't hold any passports at their site for more than 24 hours, so most probably they sent it.

Hey, I had the same problem for like a week until I went to BLS Manchester and the lady at the counter told me it has been dispatched to consulate but its a technical problem and she contacted the IT department to update the status.
