US Embassy London - Courier Costs

Hey guys,

I dont know if anybody else has this in their disney pack, but i was informed to bring £9.50 cash for the courier service to return my visa to me. Having been to the embassy in london today, it actually cost £13.50 - luckily i had enough on me. Just thought id spread the word to stop people ending up short, cos i didnt find this out right until the end.

I am assuming this is the price now, and ive not just been stupid and paid more for nothing, but i didnt opt for any extras on the service, so this should be the base price.

And make sure you take a book to read, or two! lol

They lie!!! haha thanks for the tip dude much appreciated!!

 

In the words of Sanka and co.....'no problem man' 8)

 

thank you for the tip, will i be able to bring my Ipod?

 

Not too sure on the ipod bit, i did take mine in, but i didnt use it. They do ask you at the beginning if you have any laptops, cameras or phones, and ask all to be switched off, so im assuming that most electronics are prob not allowed. Having said that, i did hear of one guy listening to some music, so that may well be ok.

They shouldnt take it off you before you go in though, so it's ok to take it, just not sure on using it inside the building.

Id recommend taking plently of reading material, and something to keep cool. it wasnt particularly hot today, but the room you're stuck in was still very warm. You can buy drinks and snacks inside, but its probably worth taking your own with you.

Id also recommend getting to know somebody sat near you or in the queue with you, i did and it certainly passed the time a bit better. If you already know people going on the same day, even better!

All in all, its not overly exciting, but its gotta be done! And its a great feeling once it is!

If anyone has any questions about the embassy bit at all, feel free to ask me, id be happy to help if i can!
