waiting4god2listen you should get it by tommorow. For my parent also it took 11-12 working days from kolkatta. Now the passport number is wrong in the visa page, so we sent for recorrection on 18th April, but did not receive it yet. thanks 4 replying win2010….appreciate it…im thinking of asking my ...

Thanks. I somehow feel applying from Kolkata takes much longer as all applications are sent to the embassy in Delhi. However my parents had applied the last 3 times from Kolkata and the decision was made within 3 days. It was a good decision on you not to waste money on the Fast Track! that is what...

Hi, I am facing a similar situation. My parents applied through fast track on 8th April 2013. Its been more than 12 working days and we have still not heard anything. The status online still reads under process. They have their tickets booked for 26 April. Its really frustraing as VFS misguided us ...

z18runway…thanks for asking…yeah..still waiting..i just posted the change in status…do u have an idea about the q i asked?…time taken from "being sent" sttatus to "ready for collection"….my parents dont live in kolkata, so they have to make travel arrangements as well for that…an...

hi friends, the visa status has changed from "under process" to "application being sent to the application center, pl wait until it is ready for collection"….as my parents have a booked tkt already, we were trying to know asap how long does it take for the status to change from t...

How soon is the visa status updated online? is it done as soon as visa is granted or is there a time lag? Also, is there any other way to check the visa status apart from online tracking/sms service? if anyone has any info about the above, your reply will be much appreciated. Thanks.

thanks for correcting me. My parents got it in 3 working days (VFS, South india) for visitor visa.They applied in feb 2013. no probs…congratulations to you and your parents :) i wish we get the good news of visa soon as well :D …have been researching so much about processing times in the last coupl...

You should have opted for a fast track visa which gurantees visa process in max of 4 working days. Good, but when we asked for the fast track, a good staff from vfs told secretly that no use of fast track, its just simply money waste and better go for normal procedure we will be ok. this is interes...

You should have opted for a fast track visa which gurantees visa process in max of 4 working days. yeah…this mistake was definitely ours…came to know about it after applying…however, the reference of my friend's parents in mumbai got it in 10 working days with normal track service last month….proba...

thanks for replying z18runway…but i think you miscalculated…when i had asked the question (on 18th april), 10 working days had passed in india (not 5 working days, as you mentioned)….today(20th april) is saturday again and including yesterday, now 11 working days have passed and we havent gotten any...

hi everyone, my parents have applied for family visitor visa to UK on 5th april 2013 from kolkata vfs. today is the 11th working day in india, but the status on tracking is still "under process at the high commission"….the latest stats(march 2013) on ukba website shows family visitor visa ...
