hmmmm......... UK is a developed country dude...... it depends on person to person, but if someone has got a chance to stay n work in this beautiful country, he shud consider himself lucky....... this county is not meant for ppl who r obsessed about their home town......... n moreover, if u have lan...

hi gulraj, the direct numbers to reach them are 24100020/21/22 but they never pick on these numbers. Dial 26872161 and ask the lady to connect you to the visa section. She will tell u to call them on direct line but u tell her to put u in the queue. Once she puts u in the queue, u'll eventually reac...

hi rimjhimjain, it was already stamped. blasting just wasted my energy. it seems that all the applications submitted at delhi bhc is taking time n as ranjan n me, v both have got it after 30 working days, looks like that they r taking at least 30 working days to complete the processing of applications

Hi Gulraj, ya, in the first place i didnt provide accomodation details, employer details n marriage photos as i didnt know these were important n vfs guys didnt ask for it but later i sent few additional documents n wife submitted it at the visa gate which contained accommodation proofs n my employm...

finally got the good news....... i m relaxed now.......... will have a good sleep after a long time.......... got my wife's visa stamped today....... yesterday called BHC and i blasted at them........ the lady at the receiving end stopped me after i barked for 5 minutes and she said that ur wife has...

hi,

whenever a visa gets refused, they put a refusal stamp on the passport...... u can send the copies of all pages of ur passport while making an appeal. but this could take time........ u can make a fresh application.

did BHC inform u that it is approved??

is ur wife applying from india ?
when did she filed for dependant visa earlier and when was it refused?

Hi, VFS doesn know anything about approval/rejection. BHC staff members might know but they wont disclose. All the best. Hope you'll get ur spouse's visa soon. Could you please tell me if you have applied from Delhi and when have you applied. I am the most unfortunate fellow who has been waiting sin...

many congrats to ranjan......... hope my wait time gets over soon........... 32 working days n still counting............

its been 31 working days for me till now n still waiting

finally i got a confirmation from BHC staff members today that dependant applications never takes that long n they asked me if my wife has ever been refused visa to any country. I told them that this is the first time she has applied for a visa. They then said that usually the dependant application ...

hey, have u guys provided a sposor letter which states that u will b taking the responsibility to support and accommodate your dependant. I came to know that this sponsorship letter is important and failure to do this could refuse the dependant application. I havent submitted it. What about others ?...

Hi, I can understand your frustration but unfortunately nothing can be done here. I am calling BHC daily from UK n every time, they keep telling me similar things which u hv mentioned. Last week i was told that my wife's application is under verification and has entered the last stage of the verific...

Hi gulraj In reality they behave diferently. Although the guide say that they finish processing of all the applications within 30 days but thats not true. I applied on 18th dec. and so far its been 28 working days. Stil they told me that my application is queued up. Also, I have seen many ppl gettin...

I also have been calling BHC almost everyday n each time i get a different response. Today i got anoter comment from one of them saying that all tier 1 applications including the dependant ones are taking 60 working days. bloody bull shit.

BHC usually send such replies in order to stop enquiring them.
This is becoming unbearable now. I am in the 7th week. Can't even express how is my situation. I have sent few additional documents today.

hey moonfog, relax, u'll get ur wife's visa. As they have said that it will take 2-3 days, it means that the passport has gone for the approval, do let us know once u get it. All the best. Hi Guys, Got a reply from BHC saying a decision has been made on my application and my passport will be despatc...

Hi friend, Congrats to you on getting your wife's visa so soon. You are definitely one of those lucky ones and i m certainly one of those unlucky ones. For me its more than 6 weeks n still waiting. Could you please tell me what documents ur wife has submitted? Thanks in advance Vinny Hi Folks, I was...

Hi moonfog,

Yes, I'll contact BHC tomorrow. I have faxed these additional documents but I am unsure whether these additional docs will be linked to the application. Anyways, I'll speak with them tomorrow and see what can be done now.

i havent submitted the rent agreement........ n i havent submitted any payslips also, i hv just included my uk bank account details as my accommodation proofs....... i hv only submitted the mandatory docs written on the vaf form 10 which says, passport n n visa copy, marriage certificate n funds in ...

Hi moonfog, I have applied for my wife's dependant visa from VFS Delhi on 18th dec. In december, I came to India in order to get married. I was pretty sure that by 1st week of jan, i should b able to get dependant visa for my wife........ but this delay has caused so much agony to me, my wife n our ...

BHC doesnt say anything else apart from their pre-recorded statement. For me it is 21 working days n still i havent heard anything... too much......I shouldnt have applied for Tier-1 visa. i was happy working in the UK as a work permit holder............all work permit holder dependants get their vi...
