Again, DON'T USE iranianvisa

.

Hello IranianVisa,

wow, I didn't expect that the communication through lonelyplanet forum is more efficient than through direct email contact.

The Receipt Nr. you gave me is: 702259.

That is the email I sent to you one week ago (to "info@iranianvisa.com"):

"Dear Hamid,

I just wanted to ask whether everything is ok with my visa
application, because I heard nothing from you since a month?

Best regards"

I would be very pleased if you could tell me about the status of my application process. I would regret it very much if could not visit Iran this summer because of not having he visa. Thank you very much!

Hello natrajx ,
We have sent an message to you. Please check your email.

I would like to comment that I have so far been relatively content with IranianVisa in the way they quickly got back to me during the application process and sent clear instructions. I was recommended the service by someone who had used it happily before.

However, I have not received any replies to my recent e-mails informing about the status of the application. The 7-10 working days have now passed and I am dying to at least know something. I don't normally cry out in the open, but I'm rather impatient and losing my peace of mind, since these kind of unexpected delays are slowly making me run out of time to complete the whole process before my plane leaves. I hope it might speed things up to post here.

Adding to that, I have received news now and understand that there's been a few days delay in the most recent applications.

One poster asked if there are any agencieas with a better reputation. Judging by posts on the thorntree, 'key2persia' seem to have a similar record to iranianvisa.com.

As I said in a previous post, FACTS Travel, although more expensive, got the number in 10 days, made no mistakes with my information, and always answered their phone and email. See http://www.factstravel.co.uk/Visas.aspx

Does anyone know of any more good agencies like this? People might find this information useful now that travel season is getting into full swing...

It seems that Hamid was in a serious car accident in Mashad a couple of weeks ago.

I hope he's OK- he's a good guy!

I recieved confirmation of my payment from Iranianvisa.com two weeks ago, and I am still waiting for my authorisation code even though I paid for express service (which promises to be half the lenght of the typical 7-10 working days). And so I am extremely worried about my application. I emailed Hamid after one week asking what the situation was, and he replied saying all applications were delayed, but my last email is so far unanswered and while I'm not so bothered that I wasted money on an express service that seems to be as slow as all the other applications, I'm really worried that I won't recieved my authorisation code in time and will have to cancel my trip, and that would be an absolute disaster.

I am really hoping that iranianvisa.com will still deliver my authorisation code in time, but I am extremely concerned.

I am a UK cıtızen tryıng to head towards Iran. I have been waiting considerably longer than the 10 workıng days that iranianvisa suggested and am worried now that I wıll not get it in time for the start of August. Email replys have been intermitent - I hope I get one soon.

If Hamid is reading this my application number is: #703097 please get in touch and let me know what is happening.

After writing my post (number 17), later that evening I recieved an email from iranianvisa.com letting me know my visa authorisation code will be with me by early next week, and by Wendesday I had recieved the code by email. I then went to the Iranian Consulte in London on Friday, and recieved my visa with no problems at all. So my confidence was fully restored in iranianvisa.com, and now I'm very happy to have a visa and very much looking forward to my trip!
