I messed up - please help

[wak9001]

Hi guys,

I just purchased priority service but for some reason it has decision making centre as Islamabad but I chose mirpur. Can I use this or not ?? will I need to pay locally now and get fast track done there ?

Can someone please let me know asap, the payment timed out and I had to start from beginning, so not sure how this managed to happen.

Many thanks

Can anyone help ?? not sure on what to do and we go on Monday for Biometrics.

Does the Biometric appointment letter show the Mirpur address?

If so go to the appointment as scheduled and query it.

If it timed out and you had to repay, you may have forgot to change to Mirpur.

Alternatively, you still have the option of changing appointment times - you may also be able to change location. Log in to your Visa application account and check.

Yeah the appointment letter is Mirpur, the wife is taking money just incase. She can pay there if needed and I'll get in contact with VFS and to see if they'll refund this.

I just went and retrieved the quote, didn't have to put in the location in again. I'm 100% I chose Mirpur. It's such a stressful time as it is and this just added to it . I'm unable to change now, so will just get her to go there and hopefully they can resolve it there end.

The email should also contain a pdf copy of priority receipt which you should attach to your supporting documents.

Yes I got this email and payment but taken , but only issue is the decision making centre is down as Islamabad when I chose Mirpur as this is where my wife is going to hand her passport into. Will that mean this priority service is incorrect and she'll need to pay again at Mirpur and if so, will VFS give me a refund. As i'd be paying for it twice.

Duas no issues at Mirpur can rectify without any issues, insha'allah.

Thank you .... my wife went and they refused to take her passport because a duplicate has been created on the Islamabad system apparently. So she has to go back ...... this is soooo stressful right now, I just want the damn thing over with.

Has anyone had this issue before, where passports have been refused at the Biometrics appointment.

They said it takes 24 hours to remove and they'll contact her with further instructions. Should I do anything my end?

Any input by anyone would be appreciated as I am really stressing.

Thanks

I've not heard of this happening before.

I guess you'll have to wait for further instructions as they've said, but do call them up in two days time to chase up. You want to allow time for 24 hours removal period and then some time to process/contact.

There could be varying reasons when they could refuse to honour your appointment. Ofcourse an error has been made on your end and they asked for some time to rectify it. Technology can be troublesome at times.

Do chased them up and get your biometrics done. Be patient, I wish you a smooth journey ahead but this spouse visa process needs time and patience.

Good luck.

Thank you for the messages ... they rang exactly 24 hours after her original appointment and asked her to come in today to drop her passport off which she has now , so all the Biometrics stuff is completed. They accepted the Priority we done online and simply moved the data from Islamabad to Mirpur. Overall an easy process. Documents are now being sent and we wait patiently. Keep me in your prayers and thanks again for all your help !!
