EC Help

Post by HSMPQueries » Fri Dec 21, 2007 11:10 am

I applied for my HSMP EC along with my wife as the dependent on the 14th. Had a couple of questions:

1. As a part of my integra verification, my employer received a verification call this afternoon at 1:30 (which is usually lunch time at most of the offices). Unfortunately, my boss was away from his desk and they left a voice mail without a call back number and said that they would call again. He did not receive a call back today, I made sure he was at his desk for most of the remainder of the day. My question is, would they reject my application stating that no verification was done? I had provided his business card which has his mobile number as well as e-mail id. These modes were not used.

2. How does one check the status via SMS from Mumbai? When I send an SMS (VISA UK Passport Number) to 57333, I get the folowing response "Sorry, invalid country code / passport number. Plz give us the correct details to process your request"

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Cheers!!

Hi, my comments below:

1) BC cannot simply reject the visa application if someone is not contactable. They have the option to call for personal interview. In my case there was no verfication call recd.

2) You can also track your application status @ new VFS India site under passport tracker.

Trust this was useful.

Best

Thanks. That is reassuring. Have you moved to the UK?
