Hi Chimpee,

Thanks for you advice. I have found a big list of questions over the internet. We both are going through this now.

Its just that, its awefully scary and stressful, the period to the interview. I cant wait for all this to be over.

Just praying to God relentlessly.

Hey all,

Just letting you know that my husband received a text today stating.. 'Your passport is ready for collection; please visit the uk visa application centre where you submitted your visa application to collect the same'

I am 100% certain as it will be a refusal as it has only been a month since my husband submitted the file at VFS - Jalandhar.. He is going in a few hours to pick it up. Can only wait and see what happens now I guess..

Chimpee,

I hope it's good news for you. Don't worry they've probably finally caught up with the backlog so they're getting through all of them quicker. :)

Fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated.
