Any approval for June 2008 Applicants?

[UKorUS]

If you want to know what is the status of integra verification, you can write a mail to Fast Track [fasttrack@integrascreen.com]

They will send you the status of your application, if it is with them. Mention your passport number and application reference number. I learnt about my status from them.

Does anybody have any idea how much time does it take after the integra results have been submiited to BDHC

[CoolestGuyC]

UKorUS,

Very useful information indeed!! By the way do you know what status information does IntegraScreen give? Do they specify that response from College/Employer is pending, etc.? I mean what are usual responses when you ask them about your status?

Do they also inform if verification was successful/inconclusive/unsuccessful?

Does anybody have any idea how much time does it take after the integra results have been submiited to BDHC

I think that you should get a response soon, say within 1 or 2 weeks after your Integra Verification is complete. This is because I don't think that they have many Tier 1 applications in Mumbai.

Hi UK or US,

I had mailed to BHC for checking my status with them but I got the below reply from BHC:

We are making enquiries on your visa application, which could take up to one month, however, our aim is to be able to process your application more quickly than this. In a very small number of cases, visa applications take longer than one month to process.

I had also mailed to Integra as per the email address which is suggested by you and asked integra about my verification status but I got the below reply from Integra.

Please contact the nearest office of British High Commission to know the status of your application.

I dont know why integra replied me with the above mail.

Cheers,

Hi Congrats!

In short yes (unless BHC has changed rules again)! Make an effort to search the forum as to what additional documents you will need if you are using FDs as evidence of maintenance funds.

I believe people would have responded to your query even if you had not used bold typeset.

Hi HSMP Jan08,
Pls note that fixed deposit can not be used as evidence of maintenance fund.

[geriatrix]

Pls note that fixed deposit can not be used as evidence of maintenance fund.

Maybe not, if applying from Nigeria. But you might want to double-check with your local BHC/VAC after reading this.
