Correcting error in VISA vignette

[anirbanbob]

Hi

My Tier 2 vignette contains error regarding validity time. I had applied through Kolkata Application Center. Can you please mention whom should I contact and if you can also mention the contact details, I would be very grateful. I have come across one contact called visaqry.newdelhi@fco.gov.uk but they say they can take upto 20 days to reply. I am aching for a quicker response.

Many thanks.

Hi y'all

I thought of sharing my experience with a VISA rectification case. I had applied for a Tier 2 General VISA and got it approved. The process took 8 working days(from application to collection) and I had applied at the Kolkata application center. After collecting the VISA I found that there was an error in the valid until date. Normally, the VISA has a validity of 3 yrs and 1 month whereas my vignette showed validity for 1 month only!! Apparently, this not uncommon (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 50847be2cd). I contacted the High Commission at Delhi the same day and got a response the next day asking me to submit my passport for rectification. The BHC told me that it would take 1 working day for processing which meant that it would take me three days in the least to get my passport back. However, over 7 working days had passed and there was no news from VFS. So I sent them a mail asking them if they had received my passport back. They replied that they did and they had received it on the third day just like my calculation had told me. I was pretty pissed off at VFS for them not having sent me a mail for they had assured me that they would. My advice: If you have apped for a rectification, ask VFS on the fifth day itself.

Bonne chance
