Thanks Nazmas. You should be getting your soon.

I asked for a weekend one and got it. I think unless you don't ask for a specific one they give you the one next week or something. I was initially given one for the 26th.

Does anyone know when do they contact the countersignatory? Is it after the passport interview or before it?

Thanks,

Interesting. Since you haven't received it, as mine was two days after, I guess I will have to wait.
