Status As on 25rd March 09: Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission
All most 3 weeks is over, still status showing forwarded to BHC. Do I need to contact VFS or BHC ?

Thanks

Hi All,

Yesterday evening my application status changed from 'Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission' to 'Your passport is ready for collection: please visit the uk visa application center where you submitted your visa application'.

However it not mentioned on the online status whether my visa is accepted or rejected. Just want to know any one has such experiences and what would be the actual result - acepted or rejected.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
sp sahu

In my case, I've confirmed with my employers and no verification done to any of my employers.

Sometimes they verify and sometimes they don't.

Visa status still same

Post by worldpeace » Mon Apr 06, 2009 5:04 pm

Dont want to demoralize eveyone but still worth sharing I think. We are still waiting with same status message and this is the 4th week that has started, had applied on 16th March from Hyderabad for a dependent's Visa for Tier 1.

Based on estimates and words from VFS staff that max 12 working days it takes now, we had planned for a journey on 8th April.

A lesson learnt for us which we would like to share with all. Please plan properly so as to have ample time for the Visa process.
Hope things start sorting out soon.

I got my visa Today. Thanks to all

My employer didnt get any verification calls. If you provide all supporting docs and make them feel you are genuine, they wont verify the docs.

Still waiting.......
Fingers Crossed.
When does the actual status change? After the docs are sent to the courier or after the decision is made.
Appl fwded to BHC-- could this mean anything from " a decision is made/ will be made/sent to the courier"?
