Congrats Giritrah. This is indeed a very good news.

Hi Kalugampitiya,

This is really interesting. As per your records it seems the British High Commission had started processing your documents.
Did you get the document missing information from VFS or British High Commission from Chennai?

Seems Chennai is processing with an average from 55 working days as per the stats.

Worth checking some figures from Delhi or Mumbai BHC.

Congratulations hsmp_secunderabad. This is wonderful news and thanks for sharing with us.

I will request you all to submit your timelines in the below mentioned format. Date of Application in VFS Center: VFS Center: Received at High Commission on: Under ...

Sure Juhi. i will keep you posted. Which Visa Application center have you applied from? For my wife and kid we have done it from Kolkata VFS center which then sends it to New Delhi BDHC. I was checking the current processing timeline for the weekending 15th Nov 2013. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.u...

Many thanks Amber. Going through lot of tension during this period and hoping my family can join me soon. Your support is highly appreciated as always.

Thanks Amber. There is no debt and they have never asked for any charges. We had hardly gone for couple of visits to GP and my daughter had vaccinations.

We were on long term Tier 2 ICT visa earlier.

Hi Amber, One more query regarding my wife and child visa application. If you refer my case my dependents were present in UK under Tier 2 ICT visa category. However they have returned back to India and have applied under family settlement visa (VAF4A) category. In the vAF4A form there was a question...

Thanks buddy.

Hi Amber,

Can you please advise any link for email contact or any other contact for ECO Delhi High Commission?

Shall I need to give reference to Visa application details while sending the additional docs?

Regards

I completely agree with Amber. In fact i saw a case where a lady was refused for application submission since she was unable to provide SU. Seems like creating own protocols on top of what UKBA has

Congratulations.

Even I was asked by the VFS Team member to submit the Sponsorship undertaking form. Fortunately I was there along with my wife in India during the application submission process.

Thanks Amber.
Do you have any email id or postal address where I can send it? I had applied through Kolkata VFS but they informed that all the documents will be sent to Delhi High Commission for processing.

Shall I give my application reference details as well so that they can refer my case?

regards

Hi Gurus,

Any advice please?

Hi, My wife and child has applied for their Visa on 25th Oct 2013 through VFS center in India. The current status is being shown as "Under Process at BDHC." Can anybody please let me know that in case I want to submit few additional documents can I submit it through some email to BDHC? Wil...

Hi All, I am applying finally for my wife and child's dependent visa next week. I hope there will no rule changes for VAF4A application. Just wanted to check that if I plan to apply for next week can I submit the application form tomorrow but pay to VAF center next week? I guess the application will...

Thanks Amber. Yes I have got an assessment done from uknaric which confirms that degree is c1 level English. Hope she will be exempted from English language test. My only worry was Life in UK as a combination. However from your advice it seems this is not applicable for dependent visa applied outsid...

Thanks Amber. So the esol b1 and life in uk is not valid for dependent settlement vaf4a if it is applied outside uk?

Thanks Vinny. My apprehension is regarding new rules for esol and life in uk. Not sure if ukba is planning to implement both in applications outside uk.

Hi, I have one more query. Can you please advise if we apply for the dependent application in VFS india center and pay the money the on the same day when will my application date be considered in terms of the rules? e.g. if I apply on 24th oct 2013 will my application submission date be considered o...
