Any news?

Post by Kwikx » Tue Dec 18, 2012 6:55 am

Has the processing time again increased? It looked like in early November the passport was received in 9-12 working days, but seems to be slower now.

I have a bad feeling if nothing is done before Christmas, there will again be a big delay till January :(

Has anyone received their passports back?

Total of 24 working days. The only small problem is that my wife visa is given for only 1 year duration where as my tier 1 is valid for 2 years... so checking with them why this disconnect. But i think thats a minor issue and she will travel in the next couple of days

Yesterday[02/01/2013] received a call from BHC Mumbai regarding my application, just a normal application verification call. Might be now they have started to process December backlogs.
[08/01/2013]: Status changed to Application processed and forwarded to Blue Dart.
[09/01/2013]:Passport and documents received.
[15/01/2013]:Today had a look on December processing times for Pune center, They say that they have processed 100% application with in 15 working days, but in fact it took me full 20 working days from start to finish. Please don't go on their published processing time guidelines. Apply as early as possible to avoid any frustration.

Update 10/01/13
Passports/visa received on 09/01. I was thinking that we will receive BRP's, but we got visa's pasted on passport pages. Seems like UKBA have not started issuing BRP's in India yet.

Good luck to everyone!

Crazy delay

Post by Kwikx » Fri Jan 11, 2013 7:14 am

How is it possible that I applied on the 3rd of December and still my passport is under process. I am so annoyed with their completely opaque system. Getting so frustrating to just keep waiting.

2> Pay in cash if possible for faster submission at the VFS centre.
3> Dont expect or rely on the VFS employee to verify or guide you on documents required to be submitted. Go well prepared to avoid any mistakes.
