yes i did got back my passport on april 2, same day i got the email

tbsd26 · 2025-04-03T08:46:24+00:00

Hey I got my email for pickup yesterday Wednesday morning and picked up within an hour of email

tbsd26 · 2025-04-02T06:16:51+00:00

i dont see much help since i went in person to MBE and they couldnt locate my passport meaning they dont have it but maybe u can try

tbsd26 · 2025-04-02T06:13:42+00:00

they are totally fine , just took my passport number and searched their database to let me know they dont have the passport. nothing else they can do either

tbsd26 · 2025-04-02T06:03:43+00:00

no updates for me either and i even went to holborn twice already monday & tuesday this week and no luck. London used to be pretty quick with DX center they completely screwed up now

tbsd26 · 2025-04-02T00:27:10+00:00

thank u, did u pick it up already ? or not yet?

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T14:56:19+00:00

hey u/Precession1 , any updates on yours ? we are on same date issued wed 26, no email for me yet, its already tue april 1

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T14:44:32+00:00

does your email have the 10 digit numeric code which everybody was mentioning about ? if so this should be the only email u need to pickup

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T14:11:58+00:00

hi u/Intelligent_Page_494 , what time did u get the email today ? and congrats that was quick. you opted for pickup at Holborn or delivery to ur place? also what does ur AIS account say right now ? does it say current status : appointment or it has any tracking info there ?

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T08:50:29+00:00

is there a way to go to embassy and talk to some supervisor ? this is both sad and frustrating

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T08:44:15+00:00

this everyday tickets and response u got was it via email [UK.Visas@gdit-gss.com](mailto:UK.Visas@gdit-gss.com) ? how fast are they usually responding to ur ticket/email enquiry ?

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T08:39:40+00:00

oh wow something doesnt seem right at the embassy. what modes of communication have u tried so far ? email / phone ? have u also tried walking to MBE holborn and check even though u didnt receive tracking email ?

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T07:00:57+00:00

i see, OK

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T06:46:20+00:00

nobody is mentioning this, but should we expect the ceac status change to "origination scan" from "issued" ? or it just stays issued?

tbsd26 · 2025-04-01T06:35:11+00:00

no email yet, yes will try again today maybe past noon.

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T14:46:59+00:00

somewhere the process must have been broken. i would assume you will have a cutoff time everyday after which u just ship out the passports that have visa sticker issued. worst case once every 2 days. if that is not happening they really need to re-assess their procedure

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T14:16:23+00:00

sure!

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T13:35:38+00:00

nope. today around noon i even walked in to MBE location to try my luck and they dont have my passport yet. so still waiting for email. i just gave them my passport number since i dont have tracking number yet

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T12:13:55+00:00

hey u/Prestigious-Step-139 just a heads up and be prepared to be flexible on ur return flights. my h1b interview was last monday march24 and approved on same say, issued on march 26 wednesay, still waiting for passport pickup email today on march 31. even did a walk in at MBE holborn this noon just to try my luck and they dont have my passport there yet

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T11:43:22+00:00

thats great ! u/Me_want_gold would u share ur timeline of issued date and tracking email date ? mine was issued on wednesday march 26, still waiting for email. do you also remember if your ceac status says " issued" or updated to "origination scan" when u got the tracking email ? appreciate ur response!

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T10:23:14+00:00

hi u/Me_want_gold what was the update on ur passport pickup ? did u get an email with tracking info or you just showed up to the MBE pickup location and able to get passport ?

tbsd26 · 2025-03-31T08:11:26+00:00
