Great, thanks. Looking forward to the NCS appointment now.

Have a NCS appointment on Thursday and a PCN from the council comes through the post on the weekend. This is for an alleged contravention of the Yellow Box Junction rules. I have searched the forum and understand that PCNs are not to be reported on the application form. My doubts are as follows: 1. ...

I guess the ''discretion'' issue is faced my many people, my self including. I have also held my application - as i do not want to risk the Home Offcie not applying its discretion. Mods - a case for sitcky where people who have beeen able to get the discretion from HO (or have not been able to get i...

I am in a similar position as the OP.

Per John's suggestion - is it possible that the OP applies as a joint application, but asks for the wife's application to be considered as a 'spouse' application after his application has been dealt with?

This can result in some cost savings?

I am eligible to apply for BC in September 2011, having fulfilled all the relevant requirements. However my predicament is regarding my wife and my baby. A quick background: I came to the UK for the first time in October 2005 My wife joined me in May 2006 We both applied for and got our ILR in Septe...

finally got my baby's visa today. got a sms last night (day 60) and got the passport today via Blue Dart (day 61).

good luck to everyone in their wait....recent experiences here suggests that people get it after around 60 working days.

excellent news amarkk. congratulations.

seems like its exactly 60 days today from your application.

Looking at the April processing guidelines, it seems that whatever they have processed in April, has been done within 60days (atleast in Mumbai, Delhi & Bangalore). So i think, 60 (working) d...

Another week goes by and no news!

I will be entering the 12th week now and also next week will see the 60 working days end. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thankfully, although Monday is a bank holiday in the UK, for BHC, India it is a working day.

Amarkk wrote:11th week too...

where did you apply from amarkk and for whom?

55th working day and still waiting.

considering the visa is for a 5 month old baby (was 3 months old when we applied) and both parents have ILR, makes you wonder what checks are they performing???

feeling so low today...

Thanks harv.

Just off the phone with BHC, Mumbai. Same answer, we need to carry out some mandatory checks, which makes the process longer.

called up vfs again this morning.....same reply visa is under process we can't say how long it will take.

and as if to scare me they said, some applications are under process since January 2011.

What do the moderators suggest I do? It's been 50 working days now.

Any updates for anyone?
