Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2014 7:52 pm
Dear Mods ,
Couple of months back I asked a question around the settlement VISA application for my new born son from India -
http://www.immigrationboards.com/britis ... ml#p988099
Day before yesterday i received a notification that the VISA process is now complete and the application has been sent back to VFS. As expected we received the courier today with the settlement VISA. We were on cloud 9 to get the VISA for our littleone because finally i could get him back to UK .
But my happiness was shattered when i started checking the details on the VISA stamp - It says:
"Settlement Visa to join parents <My Name>" and they have printed my name incorrect.
I am so disappointed as i had made all my plans around this , booked my tickets back to India , taken time off work etc etc... and now it turns out that my name on the VISA has been printed incorrectly. With painstaking attention to details i filled all the forms correctly, paid all the money , collected all the required documents and the end result is that UKBA has printed my name incorrectly in my sons VISA.
I have double checked and I have mentioned my name correctly in the VAF4A form and also the Sponsor letter.
I am trying to search for any FAQs which cover this scenario on the http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/india/freque ... tions.html
but have not managed to find any relevant ones.
The only option i see here is to call the 00 44 1243 218 117 number charged at £1.37 per minute and speak to a representative.
Can i please request the MODS to suggest on whats the best route to follow now please? What needs to be done to get the details corrected on the VISA stamp for my son ? We applied through the VFS Delhi centre.
Any help here would be much appreciated please.
Regards, Y
