Yup. Am Positive. Called the VFS helpline to make sure, but they weren't certain either. Took a chance and went along to the VAC, and my passport was ready for collection. Oddly enough, it was right after I collected my passport that I received a message saying my passport was ready for collection. ...
Visa Type: Settlement Spouse Visa Applied: 18/03/2014 At: VFS New Delhi Visa Stamped: 26/03/2014 Six working days is all it took. That plus a previous rejection on the most ridiculous grounds plus a looooong wait plus working with excellent lawyers plus an application folder well over three inches t...
FYI. The last few messages mean your passport is ready for collection. They have made the SMS language so confusing that even the people at the VFS helpline weren't sure what they meant. From Filing to processing, it took six working days to get my visa. 33 months stamped in, and I'm ready to rock a...
Hello! This may seem like a silly post, but I really need the SMS sent by VFS New Delhi decoded. The Delhi VFS has been having some technical problems and has not issued me a visa application reference number. This means that I cannot track my application online. They do send detailed SMS on every s...
when you got rejected once and are reapplying for settlement - in the application form..where it's mentioned have you ever been refused a UK visa in the last 10 years? do you have to say yes or no? It is self-explanatory. If you have been refused a visa in the last 10 years, you say you were refuse...
Well, despite the option to appeal, my husband and I have decided to re-apply. Thank you Batleykhan for all the feedback. Based on the advice we have received on this forum and from solicitors and other immigration experts, we felt re-application made the most sense for us. Quite apart from everythi...
For all those who have appealed their visa decisions: How long has/is your appeal taken/taking? The UKBA website states the following: You appeal will be accepted when the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) (FTTIAC) receives your payment. The FTTIAC will then notify the visa office...
My apologies! I applied on 4/10/12 and not 4/11/12 My application status changed this evening... I applied at the New Delhi VFS on 4/11/12 and the application was 'under process' at the BHC on the same day. Today is exactly 3 months since I filed, and my status says 'Processed application delivered ...
Thank you BatleyKhan. My husband and I just had a long conversation about this. When we realised we were both too emotional about the matter, we decided to put it away for the night and sleep on it. Hopefully, the day will bring wiser counsel with it. We have decided to proceed as though we were app...
Your first few points are fair. There was a fair deal of ineptitude with the application itself. That can be remedied. The solicitors we retained for the purpose will be fired on Monday, once my husband has given them an earful. We, to the best of our ability, did read the guidelines provided. We ar...
Received passport a little while ago. They have refused my visa. While I can allow some points, other reasons are ridiculous. Posting the letter for refusal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFUSAL OF ENTRY CLEARANCE Your Application You have applie...
My application status changed this evening... I applied at the New Delhi VFS on 4/11/12 and the application was 'under process' at the BHC on the same day. Today is exactly 3 months since I filed, and my status says 'Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on 04/01/2013. My husband and I have o...
I applied at the VFS, New Delhi early October, but have still not received any word. It has been exactly 50 working days since I applied. I am well aware that this is well within the processing times posted on their website. I simply wish to know of other applications made at the VFS, New Delhi, and...
I'd applied for a family visit visa earlier. It was denied because I hadn't provided certain documentation. It was quite a shock
I suppose that's why my husband and I chose to err on the side of caution. :-p
Hi, Am filing my spouse visa application on 04/10/12 from New Delhi, India. Just needed feedback on my supporting documents and whether they're sufficient. Following is the index to my application as attached to the application. Index 1. Application: i) Online application. ii) Sponsorship undertakin...
