Settlement Application Postal Delays?

Post by Emmett1938 » Sat Jan 27, 2018 4:59 am

My husband (British citizen) and I (American) are stressed about our settlement visa application pack being delayed. We mailed the package today (Jan 26) from the US with UPS Worldwide Express shipping, but the package was delayed due to a "missing commercial invoice". As the pack is documents with no commercial value, it should not have required an invoice, but either way, the application pack may be held up in customs.

Is there guidance on how long the package can take from the date of submitting online (last Monday, Jan 22) or the date of the biometrics appointment (today, Friday Jan 26) until it arrives in Sheffield? What about specified evidence that is required to be dated recently-- is there a "hold" on how long these documents may be out of date by if the application pack was submitted/posted in a timely manner, and held in customs beyond our control?

Thank you for any advice you have!
