Hi,

I applied on 8th August from UK. I have received the reference letter and the fee has also been deducted. I have not got any verification calls so far.

Could you please enlighten me on "Verification Calls by Integra"? I am sorry, I have no idea about this.

Thanks,

I was not knowing about the new form and I had used the previous form.

I called UK HO, they said that they have a transition period of 21 days, till when they consider old forms as well.

August Visa

Post by kiladik » Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:27 pm

Hi,

I applied on 21st August and my HR received a call from integra on 27th but he was in a meeting and replied to them to call later. Next day I recieved a call from integra and they asked the following questions.

1) my date of join in present company
2) why i want to travel to UK
3) Do I have any UK Job offers.

These are the only questions he asked and disconnected the phone.

After two days I asked my employer whether they called again but he said they have not given any call again.

Best Regards
KK

Post by vijayvvd » Wed Sep 03, 2008 9:52 pm

Some hope for me.
Sent Urgent Treat ment last week thru royal mail as well faxed copy 28/08.

I spoke to HO , they confirmed that my urgent treatment application has been recieved and accepted for urgent treatment.
However he refused to suggest me when I can expect a decision, which seem logical.
Any way I will be calling HO on Friday again

Now my timelines are
Wp to Tier 1 ==appln within uk
Applied on 08/08/08
Payment deducted: 14/08/08
Reference Number received on :18/08/08
Urgent Treatment confirmed on 04/09/08

dont know about the transitional arrangements, best to call them up and ask.
If you have a job offer I think you can go for urgent treatment. I have seen many posts of people having done that successfully. Unless u r not in a hurry of course

Friend,
I think you should go ahead , and put a UT with offer letter. Please ensure your language in UT request is polite.
Sending UT will definately not harm you.

It worked for me.

Yesterday I spoke to CC and got confirmation that may papers are with case worker

Applied 11 Aug @ VFS Mumbai. Where to get status from?

Post by neeraj_chennai » Mon Sep 08, 2008 7:57 am

Hi guys,

I had applied for Tier 1 (general) on 11th Aug at Mumbai. My company did received a call about a week later from Integra asking whether I am employed there or not. They didn't ask anything else.

No news as of now. Can anyone inform where to get status check from? VFS helpline is not much use as they keep saying "your papers were forwarded to BDHC on ..." Do inform any other way to know "real status".

Also, I haven't got a job offer but am hopeful to get one soon. Can I ask for UT? Can anyone send a format of UT letter?

Regards,
Neeraj
