Sure!
I submitted my application in VFS office in Bangalore. Though they have the British embassy in Chennai, they accept the application forms in Bangalore. The Bangalore VFS working hours are 08:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 15:00.
1. I went to the VFS office, waited in a queue for the token (the queue was not big and there were 10-15 people at that time). I got the token and entered the office.
2. There are two counters where they check the applications for the correctness, make any changes if needed, request any additional documents. Upon my turn, I went to one of the counters.
3. The lady there checked my application form, and made some changes. ONE OF THE MAJOR CHANGES WAS TO CHANGE THE EXPECTED STAY IN UK FROM 1 YEAR to 2 YEARS. Yeah, form this forum, I had got the information that we should answer 1 YEAR to the question 5.1 on the EC application form; but that’s not true.
YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE "2 YEARS" TO THE QUESTION # 5.1 IN APPLICATION FORM.
4. On the same counter, the lady asked me about the other documents I might have and she specifically mentioned about all the documents listed in my first post (in this thread).
IMPORTANT:
NOTE THAT THEY WILL ASK FOR THE DOCUMENTS BUT IF YOU DONT PROVIDE THOSE, THEY WILL STILL ACCEPT THE FORM. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO DO, YOU WOULD WANT TO PROVIDE ALL THE DOCUMENTS THAT THEY ASK FOR, because on the form they put a remark like they asked for the documents and the applicant didn’t provide those, and the applicant is OK with sending the application without providing the requested documents. Note that you won’t be aware that such a remark was made (and they don’t inform you that they are making such a remark - something that I didn’t like). I came to know about this remark because I could not submit the application (due to photo size not matching) in the first go and brought my application back home, that’s when I saw that remark.
5. Once they check/correct the application they assemble it in a bag and you are not supposed to change the order of the assembled documents. Then you wait for your turn to pay the fees and submit the application.
6. After the submission is over and you pay the fees, come out, take a deep breath, tell to yourself - "whatever I had to do I did, now I am going to just wait and hope for the positive result".
Hope this helps!
