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

applied at VFS South Mumbai office
date applied - 23-June-2008
payment deducted and reference number given - 23-June-2008
Integra Verification - sent a mail to fasttrack@integrascreen.com and came to know that they had sent my results to BDHC on 15-July-2008
Decision - Got the courier today morning. It shows the visa stamped date as on 18-July-2008
Documents provided -
1) last 12 months salary slips
2) my engineering college is recognised in the NARIC database for both qualifications and english. However, the name has changed hence submitted a letter from the college
3) maintenance funds - provided icici statements(also my salary account), original Fixed deposit certificates.
other documents that VFS asked for were also provided:-
1) last years ITR
2) all previous companies work ex certificates
3) employment, increment letters
did a lot of lot of follow-up with BDHC through e-mail
1) on the first mail got a reply that the case has to be yet to be assigned to a caseworker. Mail sent on 12-Jul-2008 and reply received on 15-July-2008
2) on the second mail got a reply on 21-July-2008 got the reply that decision has been made and the documents delivered to VFS.
Though, I didn't refer to this forum at the time of preparing and applying however after that, I joined this forum and the postings from members definitely helped to bring down the anxiety levels.
Best of luck to all the hopefuls.

If possible, I would like to request for the status of my application with Integra. My passport number is xxxx and appln ref number is xxxx
Reply from Integra:-
Dear xxx,
Thank you for your email.

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.hsmpjan08 wrote:Hi Congrats!

Maybe not, if applying from Nigeria. But you might want to double-check with your local BHC/VAC after reading this.FLO wrote:Pls note that fixed deposit can not be used as evidence of maintenance fund.
