Thanks Sunny!!
By god's grace My status has been changed to 'Processed application delived to blue dart on'. Therle is no date given after 'on'.,
Its bit relief to see some change in the vfs site.
now it has become more tough to wait to see the actual status.

Thanks!

same is the case with my application.

but if you send SMS by writing "Visa UK" to 57333

they will give the date it was processed and delivered to blue dart

i'm now nervous as to whether i got the visa or not

and how much time will it take to get my passport back

Hi
sunny,since when you are seeing the status?

In sms its showing date,but when i called up vfs customer care they are saying that bluedart has returned back the passport to the Kolkata aplication centre because of out of delivery area and i need to collect my passport from vfs centre kolkata between 3pm-5pm, but its not the case my place comes in blue dart delivery area.
Also bluedart custcare/site says(ref no my passport#) that they havent recived it yet.
please suggest,what should i do next.
Is this is the case happened with somebody else.
Thanks!

Finally I have got the VISA, thanks a lot to everyone on this forum.

Applied: 12th Jan 2009 at VFS Chandigarh
VISA APPROVED: 18th Feb 2009

Case: I am already a dependent on my partner and had a valid visa until June 2012 but with the current market situation Tier 1 was a more suitable option.

Now I have visa until Feb 2012 but this means I can change jobs, get my partner and son dependent on me.

Application consisted of:

1) Index page
2) VAF form
3) Appendix 1
4) Passport
5) Cover Letter
6) Original degree
7) Final year’s marksheet
8) Letter from employer
9) Payslips for 12 months
10) Employment contract from UK
11) Bank statement (12 months only, it covered 12 months earning and last 3 months had funds for maintenance)
12) UK degree
13) UK Mark sheet ( to claim points for English language)
14) Tenancy Agreement
15) Photo copy of marriage certificate (not attested)
16) Self assessment form

I do not know if any verification were done or not. I wish luck to all members. Any further questions please reply here. I will check the forum frequently.
