Visitor visa

Post by Tulasij » Wed Mar 19, 2014 12:00 pm

I have applied for visitor visa from Hyderabad(India) on 14th Feb 2014. Status is still 'Under process with BHC'. I have mailed to chennai visa enquiry and thay said that I need to attend an Interview and VFS will contact me with suitable Date and Time for the Interview. I did not receive any call from VFS.

If any one had such experieince can you let me know how long VFS will take to schdule an Interview. It has been 23 working days since I have applied for visa.

hi buddy search Interview Chennai and you would see the links some people claimed to attend the interview on 4th mar after that i have not seen anybody claiming to went for interview!

did you try to send another mail asking them when can you expect a call from VFS for scheduling interview since its already been 15 days since you got the mail?

Hi Dim,

What i have observed is...those who made their applications in Dec 2013 end and in Jan were called for interview in March. Since we made our application in Feb we should get our call in April. :?

let me know when you get a reply but i believe we all would be required to attend the interview on the same day ! i had travelled to more then 20 countries including UK even got work permit earlier and never been called for any interview :) had always followed laws and always spoke truth about anything and everything so i am sure they wont refuse my visa but dont know how much time they are going to take :(

Hi Tulasi,

Was wondering how did your interview go today and what questions were asked in the interview?

I received a call this afternoon stating that my interview is scheduled for 9th of April at Chennai

Many thanks

Hi dim/prridvi

My interview went fine. All questions were on my/my husband's financial status. They were checking if i will be back after visa expiry.
After interview caseworker said that he will get back with his decision in 5 working days. Eagerly waiting for the reply:)
