Yes it is for sattlement route..when i went for my Mrs TB test there were 165 candidates only for Uk i guessing you are right in term of students as there unis are starting or might have already started.
Now i am also guessing that they might email you to let you know that an appointment is available but it might be a 1 for which you have to pay

You don't need to upload anything. The questions already answered as now incorporated into online form.

Any luck any one? It just seems that they won't have any slot available at all for a while.

Can we upload one or two documents after the biometrics appointment to VFS as I am expecting my bank statement on the 15th of this month. Don’t want to order it as I haven’t got an appointment yet.
Documents uploaded after the appointment are accepted ?

People say keep trying but I don’t think they are giving appointments at the moment.

Except where it is the HO or CW that request for the document, you wont have room to send or upload additional document after you have had your biometrics appointment. With bank statement being germane to the application, better to put your house in order as regards documents first befor going for biometrics.

A small update. Finally had a call from Gerrys mobile team. The earliest appointment they have is for 28th of October and nothing before that even with their ridiculous fees.

Is it for lahore. Is it really worth i mean is it going to esscalate the visa processes as well.

[rommy]

Yes it is for lahore. But no it won't accelerate visa application in any way. But the problem is without biometric they won't even start processing visa application so there is that.

You are trying from Lahore as well?

[Sadsay]

Yes i am also looking for lahore appointment. See if you have more people in eye.

What fees do they charge? I have already paid for the application plus IHS. I think they charge 10,000 rupees for a premium lounge and 124,000 rupees for priority if needed.
Don’t know if we can book the priority service from here online or at the centre. Do they have an additional fee too?

Whatever comes available is better as I am sure there will be lots of people like us waiting and the wait can go on for months until things get back to normal.

and evidence of registration with companies house as a director of the company.

You can use full current appointments report.
Do you have registration certificate ? You normally get it when you first register the company if you have it please include otherwise your current appointment report should be enough

No appointment i have been looking from last 2 weeks. Which city you are trying from?

VFS has the most useless customer service I have dealt with.

Last Thursday their mobile CS called and said they have availability for 28th October. They asked us to email the details which they already had. No followup from them afterward.

Now today I received another email from them after many calls and emails from our side. The earliest availability they have now is 23rd of November and they asked for same details which I have sent at least 7 times.

Can anyone here please offer any advice? We are going in circles with Vfs and 23rd of November is way too far.

Any suggestion when they release new slots online? I sent an email to Vfs saying we are dealing with mental stress due to checking their website for appointments 24/7. A genius replied they are sorry we are having IT issues and gave their IT team email

[Sadsay]

I am surprised people have that much money to pay these ignorant idiots they don't even have an appointment until 23rd of November.
Do you mind to sahre there email and contact no so i can chase them up too. I have sent emails to British Council but they said they are only educational Institute and they can't help with anything. I have also sent customer care email off VFS again no response.
I am so disappointed with VFS after being ridiculous amount of money we still have to suffer through mental stress

[rommy]

The number we have been calling is 9999 from mobile.

There are two email addresses. One is their main CS useless with everything customercare@vfsglobal.com. 2nd email is their mobile service team odmv@gerry.com.pk

Please please share any useful information you might find.
