hey guys how are you. Went for the interview last week,luckily my wife came to mumbai aswell as she had some time off. The interview process was really long. The lady was really tough on us but we stayed positive and gave an honest response. They didnt give us a time scale on when they will reply, but they interviewed both of us. Lets keep our fingerscrossed and pray to god that we get our visas..

King Regards

We've been watching this thread to get update on waiting time. Friend of mine got her spouse visa after 21 working days of submitting her visa application in VFS chennai office. we were really surpriced. was told when submitting the application that the processing time for settlement visa was 2 to 3 months.

Good luck everyone and hope you all get your visas soon.

I don't know the exact date my friend submit the visa application. I know it was in July sometimes. She collected her passport with visa on the 8th of August from VFS chennai. She told me it took 21 working days. I guess it depends on luck. some gets is quicker than others.

Hi Guys,

As you know I had my interview on the 17th Aug. Does anyone know, when I should be expecting a reply back from the Visa Office?

How long does it take for them to reply after the settlement interview?
