Hi All,

Got my EC stamped. Here are my timelines,

Applied on : Jul 23rd from VFS Chennai
Visa stamped on : Aug 6th.

Paid in cash 17,056/- in VFS Chennai. (Rs. 56 for DD Charges)

Integra verification: Checked with employer, there was no Integra verification done. No medical checkup too. I am into Mfg. Mgmt. sector.

Docs submitted for EC:

All HSMP docs + 15 days YMCA Hostel accomodation + job to which i had applied + my 6 months bank statement) plus other copies.

I got about 3.5 lakhs from my father, deposits were made in amounts of 45k to 50k from June adding to a total of 4.2 lakhs including my savings.

I only got a letter from my father on a plain paper, stating the funds were given by him to me for visa purpose and there is no objection from his side in me using the money. No affidavit or no notary seal/signature.

Will be flying to london on Aug 24. Any help reqd pls let me know.

Cheers,
Sathish

Hi. Same thing happened with me when I applied for EC at VFS Mumbai. I was trying to explain to the lady that the driving license was my proof of age for initial HSMP application, but still she refused and said its not needed and if you want, you can submit a photocopy of the driving license, but not the original one !

VFS offices have a habit of not accepting documents which the applicants know are needed. They act like immigration advisors, and whenever they do so they should be complained about.

Hi Victoria,

Thanks for your advice. I have written back to the British High Commission about this. Hopefully they should take care of it when they go through my file.
