Dear all,

I have got EC and soon would be flying to UK in first half of April. It only takes 8 days to get the visa using CAVA facility. No Interview, collected passport with stamp on it. If you need any information about the docments I will be happy to share it.

Best wishes for all the members of the forum.

Happy Easter,

Hi Kumar,

I am from India and I have received approval. I need to know what is CAVA facility and how it works. Also, if you let me know what all documents are required to be carried when you go to embassy for visa approval, it would be of great help.

thanks

CAVA is Courier Assisted Visa Application (CAVA) System.

What is CAVA?

CAVA is a more efficient way of making a visa application, designed for people who meet the pre-set criteria. It means that you do not have to come to the British Embassy unless you are invited for an interview. If a Visa Officer needs to interview you, the Embassy will contact you directly to offer you an appointment. Please note that using this service is not a guarantee that you will qualify for a visa.

How does it work?

You need to go to the Visa Application Centers with your passport, application form & supporting documents. Your papers will be checked at Visa application centers to verify that you meet the criteria and that all documents have been enclosed. If you do not meet the criteria or your application is incomplete, you will be informed about it. If the application meets the criteria and is complete, it will be send to the Embassy, where a Visa Officer will assess it. If the visa is approved, your passport will be returned to you via courier.

Visa application centers in India are in following cities

Delhi, Jalandhar, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata..

Hi Kumar78 Sahab,

Congrats for the HSMP Approval and the subsequent Entry Clearance. Is the CAVA facility applicable for the dependents too. I mean to say for the spouse and children??

I hope you remember me.

Kumar,

Can i know how long will it take to get a dependant visa thro' CAVA Vs Personal application. Also what is the normal expected waiting time in the Que in the UK embassey in Chennai for submitting applications ( i heard people used to wait since morning 2' O clock in front of the gate!, Is it true?). Will it be processed on the same day if all the documents are submitted personally for a straight forward cases?.

I never gone for EC in Chennai and likes to hear all the views about getting EC in chennai.

Thanks,

Regards,

Baskey

In delhi, according to my information, there are no ques now. They only call some people for interview so no queues these days..
I guess same will be happening in Chennai..

Yes better to apply from Delhi. CAVA facility varies from location to location. In some countries it takes 3-4 weeks, in some countries it takes on one week.

Hello Kumar sahab,
