Split.Thats good for you. A friend sent theirs off last wednesday and got theirs back to day. I sent mine last thurday and i am still at " A application has been made " stage ! I have emailed them and got a automatic reply ,then another email later saying they are passing it on to the right department. Of course no reply.Must remind myself why i paid them £9.05p . Must be to misplace my application, worse is if they have lost my Passport.
Just called that 95p number. She didnt say anything i didnt already know ,which is they have not received it yet. She said wait 8days i told her its been 8days now. She asked if have family who are from Pakistan and if i have had a call from VFS. I had a number withheld call on wednesday and went to pick it up after 2 rings and it cut off. Have to call back Monday with the name who ever signed for it at VFS.
VFS tracking updates between 12am /1pm when i asked her.Its the weekend tomorrow so sod all going to happen over the weekend so have to wait till Monday now and see what happens then.
If there is a next time i go to Goa iam going to London and hand it in and pick it up again as its easier and you get it back in 3 days.
Well imho,that certainly sounds strange about the phone call and the Pakistan family bit, hope they sort it out for you on monday.Its always a worry
just thinking that your passport could go missing,but at least its been signed for by staff who are traceable. Good luck

Well after the 95p a min call that was no help i emailed VFS saying it had been 8 days and they dont acknowledge they have even received my application.All day yesterday i was checking the online tracking and gave up at 6pm. Check again near 9pm last night and its now in the system ! I then get a email back from VFS asking if i have a problem with Visa but his email subject was "Additional information needed " I replied back and asked if they need more info but the guy replied saying its all ok and should get back to me in the week. Huh and the 95p a min woman who said it updates between 12+1pm is wrong as it must update all day.
So fingers crossed it should be ok and ay problems i can mail the VFS guy personally.
Just strange why most are coming back within a week and a few are not even in the system after a week.One slow worker i think is there .

Anybody knows the e-mail address or contact no for birmingham visa application centre. We submitted our applications more than 2 weeks ago. just got a message today they need marriage certificate. but in message the e-mail address is not very clear. there is no phone no. for them. i got the fax no. 0121-2366262. tried sending the fax on that no. but i think for some reason it is not going through. i am travelling on 4th oct but still not received the passports back. really worried. so if somebody can help please.

I must have missed something, but why do they need your marriage certificate? 
Thats great, it worked. the no. for vfs is 020 7811 3976. just spoke to them and the e-mail address is tresat@vfsglobal.com they need marriage certificate as my spouse is indian.
Oh, I see. Still don't understand why they would want it, as, surely if you were going as an unmarried couple you would both be OK to get in?
cos i applied for 5 yrs visa, if u apply for 1 yr u dont need anything otherwise u need marriage cert. , spouse's passport copy and few other things

Please do not post in phone text type. Thanks
So will you get your Visa back in time now ? If i was you i would take it in,in person as your running out of time.
Thats good the cheap number worked for you. That email address you put on is not on the VFS web site.
Good luck with Visa.

Oh i have my fingers crossed as well.
Waiting for a Visa to get back is the most stressful part of going to India. I kept thinking i filled in something wrong,i didnt sign it.Worse was i thought i put the envelope addressed to me with passport in and the envelope to them in that,so i would get it back to my self next day.But i did none of those things and got it back after 13 long days

i have checked their website 73 times today. but still the same. i have bought the tickets already if i cancel i loose out £560. if i change the date i loose out £575. latest i can cancel or change the date is on saturday 9am. if i wait till monday for visa and do not get it or get on tuesday then i will loose £1160 plus new tickets which will be even more expensive.
BUT IF I DO GET THE VISA ON MONDAY ANYTIME IN WORKING HOURS THEN I AM VERY VERY LUCKY.

Hi all 
Can someone please let me know how much does VFS now charge for a 6month visa ?
Last year they were the usual £30 + fee's(£9.00ish) + postal order fee+ recorded delivery fee.
Ive just looked on VFS site....it states fee in rupees...5250...which equates to £70...is this correct If so, i can say with my hand on my heart,that this will be our last visit..
GREED GREED GREED....
For me it will be the straw that breaks the camels back....

Hi Noggin, No I think you have that wrong the price is still the same as you mentioned above,and they give it in Pounds,dont know where the
£ 70 comes from,and we only got ours last week
Unless the 70 is for two visas
Cheers Split....i finally found a price on another web-site.....£30 + £9.05 service charge...
