No...I dont think any verification was done...I work for top IT company so may be they would not have done that.....but I believe if they go for verification, it can go more than a month for any answer...

Hi,

I have applied for Tier 1 Visa on April 2 at Mumbai South. The status at VFS says it is forwarded to BHC. If any one else who applied around the same time, kindly update your status.

Hi everyone,

I've mostly been a silent reader, and now am a successful applicant - so want to say thanks to everyone contributing to this forum!

Applied at Mumbai VFS: 23rd March 2009
Status: 15th April: Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on
Received stamped visa on 17th April morning
Visa valid from 06/04/2009 to 06/04/2012

Question: Has anyone sucessfully tried to post-date the visa after receiving it? I mentioned my travel date as June 22 2009, but that hasnt been considered. How easy is it to do this and what is the procedure.

Thanks as always guys!

Hi All,

Yesterday evening my application status changed from 'Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission' to 'Your passport is ready for collection: please visit the uk visa application center where you submitted your visa application'.

However it not mentioned on the online status whether my visa is accepted or rejected. Just want to know any one has such experiences and what would be the actual result - acepted or rejected.

Thanks in advance.

AkashS wrote: Hi Sam,

Congratulations on getting Tier-1. I have few questions regarding Tier-1 and wondering if you can pls answer them.

1) What document you produced as Earning proof? Do we need to provide Salary Slips of last 12 months with Company Stamp or a letter from HR that this person is/was working in our company from date to date and his total earning during this period was INR xxxxx which is eqv to GBP xxxxx.

2) For maintenance fund, I am maintaining Rs. 2 L in my account and my wife has 50k in her account (Joint account actually). I hope that 2.5 L as maintained fund during last 3 months should be fine?

3) Did u also provide Form 16 or IT Return? We are suppose to file our IT return for the year 2008-2009 in July-Oct, I believe I'll apply in June itself.

I hope you will be able to provide me some help on this. Thanks.

Regards,

Akash...
Can anyone please reply to my queries if you have got HSMP Visa :)

Hi,
You should be getting your passport and all the other relevant documents you submitted very soon - probably today. Yuo can call up the VFS and enquire the AWB no of Bluedart and then follow up with Bluedart. As for if you have been granted VISA, see if your passport is stamped. All the best and do update us.

Praveen Kumar

Hi friends..

I would like to share my tier1 application status.

Date of Application : 27th March from VFS bangalore
Applciation Status as on 29th April - 'Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission '.

Today i tried to check the status but there was some error with the web site. So i sent SMS to 57333 .I got reply immediately as 'Processed application Delivered to Bludart on 29th April'. So i checked in bludart site by entering my passport number.It says 'Expected Date of Delivery 02 May 2009 ' .

Really feeling tense about the result.

Sudeer,

I am also in the same situation like u.

Date of Application : 30th March from VFS Hyderabad

Applciation Status as on 30th April - 'Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission

I called up UK Consulate in Chennai and they lady over the phone told me that 'DECISION HAS BEEN MADE ON MY APPLICATION TODAY'.I asked her, whether VISA is granted or not.She told she can't tell that and I had been told it will take 3 to 4 days to dispacth the docs.

No verification calls made to my previous and current employers.

Can any body tell me, how to know that the VISA has been granted or not?

I am completely tensed.

Regards,
Chandra

All,

I was also in similar situation since Friday when I came to know a decision has been taken. On Tuesday I came to know that it has been delivered and got it on Wednesday late evening.

They never disclose the result on phone or mail but we need to check once we get the passports.

Kepp hoping for the best.
