Unfortunately. this waiting seems to be unending. Guys I need some assistance, my father had a paralysis attack yesterday and is hospitalised. I want to reach India ASAP I can't rely on Visa, do I need to call UKBA or if anybody knows anything about emergency travel document. It would be a real help if you guys can suggest something. Many Thnaks in advance
You've to prove them with a strong paper document (from the concern hospital) that your dad is hospitalized......
If they agree to it and then they might consider giving you emergency travel document. But, having said that i dont really know whether will they react to this due to heavy baglog of applications they're dealing with. They're experiencing very high demand for thier services and as per information they've called in more employees from all major airports to review psw applications and that is why there is a big queue in airport immigration counters..
I have called UKBA and got expected response, not at all helpful. I was informed that there is no delay in processing application you have not received your visa within 4-6 weeks because you fall under 25% and we have processed 75% application within that time frame. she also advised to withdraw application as they can't give any emergency travel document or send reports and documents to UKBA in sheffield through post with a covering letter to process the application process fast but she also mentioned this is not guranteed.
Whats All this 25% and 75% of applications , i have done my masters from westminster university and i have asked student services to track my application and they rang HO, i have been informed by student services that they working on the applications and hope fully i will get reply in 2 weeks time.
