Re: Can't book an appointment on VFS Website

In same boat as you. No luck at all. At least provide information that you are booked for next few weeks. I had an email from VFS that said just keep checking every now and than for appointments. No timeline when is the best time to check.

Have you tried booking mobile service?

Re: Lahore Pakistan Vfs appointment

Thank you. Its just so frustrating being not able to find any appointments at all even for dates further ahead and there is no option to change city.

At this point mobile service seems like the only option. Is it worth paying for it?

Re: Lahore Pakistan Vfs appointment

Its entierly up to you. But its better to organize everything in few pdf files.

On a different note @seagull is it possible to use IDV app instead if I am not able to find appointment for VFS. I am not really aware how it works and If i can use it for our case?

Re: Lahore Pakistan Vfs appointment

If you have everything scanned and ordered already it should not take more than an hour. The website is not the most reliable one. But still the process is quiet straight forward

Re: Spouse visa advice

I have just spoken to a solicitor and he adviced that if my spouse visa application is successful she will only receive one month visa to travel to UK and once here she will be issued Brp.

Is this correct as I was not aware of this at all?
