I applied on Dec 20th from BLR. Still waiting - got a call "on behalf of the british high commision"- assume that would be integra and not the BHC. This was on Jan 3rd.

does the BHC actually pick the phone and entertain queries. Whenever I tried it was either engaged all the time or no one picked up!

Hi CE,
Yea,they do answer the phone and it is important to call them in the morning as they have assigned some time for this..thats between 8.30 to 10.30 am..other time,calls regarding visa will not be entertained.Hope this helps.Call up and ask them..Usually they will try to avoid you by asking you to call VFS or by giving VFS number,but if u say you were asked to call that day they will get your passport number and verify it for you..Sometimes you need to act like this!!!!

It seems Mumbai BHC is doing extra ordinarily.
Let us hope Chennai BHC will do all Dec applications in the next week
I have applied on 14th Dec. Still waiting..

I received my call from integra and the person said he is speaking from integra and asked for my employment id as i forgot to fil up in the integra form..hehe

only by that i came to know my integra verification was going on..and other day i received a call from BHC.. (to my mobile..42192151 number) and as i kept it in silent mode,i missed the call..So i called them up again and they said its just a call to say your integra is over and the decision will be made later as there are huge back logs.sorry for the delay! thats it..Just see the phone number and trace it yar..if u had received it on ur mobile..

You have applied on 28th dec as well , jason ?

How about your integra checks , are they over ?

ce98118 · Post by **ce98118** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 11:37 am

I got a call on my office number, not on my cell, so I didn't know who called!

Jason7777 · Post by **Jason7777** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 11:59 am

Heard from sources that some verification call had gone to my Head Office yesterday. May be Integra. Iam not in position to find out the details either. But can safely take it as Integra as I dont expect anyone else to do a verification on me at this time.

I applied on 27th.

Hi, In the Integra form employment details, how can you mention the name of the person whom they should contact at your office? And there is column for employer email address - how does Integra mail them then? My company is not a large firm, it is a small firm employing abour 40 people. How can I mention the relevant person's contact name? Also is it okay if we give their mobile number, instead of the common office number?

I called up the BHC this morning. I was told that my integra verification is over, and a decision is not yet taken, and was asked to check back after a week or 10 days!

~hope others had better luck today

The person said It will take atleast 10 business days for any decision to be made and it can take more than 10 days also...
