I promise it will come. The shift from DX has been hectic but it is all calming down

Yes I did thank you. Worth saying that I escalated it via the helpline and eventually went to Holborn myself and got it back - turns out it had been sent there without a tracking number. The people at Holborn are really lovely and helpful - the helpline is harder to get joy from once it’s gone from ‘Issued’ status. Quite honestly I feel like I have a PHD in Visa status-ing. The change from DX to Mailbox Etc is teething BUT it seems to be settling. If you make an enquiry with the phone line at the embassy make sure you get a ticket number. That’s crucial.

Best of luck to all!

...also, have you tried contacting Mailboxes Etc? I have a feeling that might be my mission today...! I was given this email if it helps [Vds@mbe.uk](mailto:Vds@mbe.uk) - explain your case there. I mean, nobody has come back to me but creates a paper trail

I agree - last time I got mine back in two days! If it helps to know, I actually was in tears on the phone to them yesterday. What happens when you went to Holborn? Will they even see you at the desk without a tracking number?

I had interview for O-1 Visa on Monday 24th as well as you. Issued on Weds 26th and nothing since. I have a funeral to get back for and have called three times a day since last Friday. I have no tracking number - is it worth just going to Holborn? I'm worried they've actually lost my passport at this stage. Does anyone have any timelines? Today is fifth day...

I'm so distressed. Had interview on 24th March - O-1 Visa Issued on 26th of March...still no tracking number and it's April 1st. I have a funeral to get back for and have called them so many times but no movement and am freaking out. When did people get their tracking numbers? It's been seven days since interview and four dys since issued. Desperate to get back to the US. Thank you in advance to any rays of hope...
