I submitted for the visa 'dependent of a settled person' from VFS Bangalore. Few points that may help others while preparing the submission: 1. They do not care the order in which you place the documents. VFS will keep in their own order and they might mix up lot of documents. Also, they removed the...

Hi meetvans, Feel very sorry for the rejection and I also have been going through frustration for the past so many days just because of this confusion.
