BHC Chennai, what date they are upto now on Tier1 ?

[ramgsk]

Hi,
Does anybody know what date applications are currently being processed with Entry Clearance Officers now.

I applied on Sep-15th, still waiting for the results.
BHC says "All enquiries on your application are complete. It is in the queue to be assessed by Entry Clearance Officer."

Any info in this regard would be helpful, for me, for the less number of times my call really goes through BHC customer care numbers phones ring but nobody lifts them.

Thanks

Hi,

I have no idea what they are doing. but when i spoke to them around the 15th they advised me that they dealing wit august visas and the applications these days are taking nearly 3months as a backlog and that there is only 1 person to deal with all t1s .
I made my application on the 20th. I dont know what is happening either.
Call them exactly at 8.30 you will get through. Also let me know what they say. I will also keep in touch.

All the best.

Hi,
Tried calling Chennai BHC, it just rings, no answer. I had mailed them on friday for status update but no reply. Is chennai BHC working today (28/10/08)?

My Time lines:
Applied from Chennai VFS on October 6
Integra called up my employer on October 9

After that point only status I have been getting from them is 'your application is still pending decision'. Does this mean that integra verification has been completed?

Hi,
Finally managed to talk to BHC chennai. Regarding my status they are saying integra verification has not yet been completed and even if that gets completed, it will take another 2 weeks to issue the visa. They were not able to disclose where my application is pending during the enquiry. Is there a way to talk to integra regarding the status?

No need to show the source of funds, earlier for HSMP it was, but for Tier1 we do not need to show the source of funds
