Hi,
The Surrender Certificate is issued within 2 weeks if you have applied in person in London. I Applied on 24th August and collected on 3rd september. No idea about Postal Applications!

Hi,

I submitted personally 3 applications to surrender to London VFS (Victoria) office on 16th Sep 2010 and collected surrender certificates and passports back on 23rd Sep 2010.

It just took a weeks time.

Hi,
I applied for surrender certificate via vfs on the 9th. Still no joy. The website says as processing. Not sure if I should be worried. It is always a panic when it comes to hci. How long does it take these days?. They have a premium rate number which I am hesitant to call. Did any apply this year and aware of the time scales?. The web site it takes around 4 days and it is almost a week now. Panic panic panic !!

I submitted my SC application at VFS Hayes office in person on April 1st.
The status still shows as In Process at the VFS Global page.

What is the number to call to check on progress?
