1) Age - only completed years - so, in your case 27

I applied on 15/Sep/2008 from VFS Hyderabad.
Last week Friday, the status was "Integra complete, in queue of ECO".
Called BHC today morning, he asks me to call in the second week of November.
Seems it's a bit more than 2 weeks for visa after Integra.
