Please can someone help or advise me what I am doing wrong. Visa application returned as we need a letter if we are in the police force, armed forces, photographer, actor airline staff or journalist. As neither husband or I are in any of those categories. (Civil Servant and Local council) I am at a loss as to how to reply. Any chance of a telephone number for VFS Global? :que

This email address at vsf was about the only one of many who contacted me back when I had an issue.
there is a 95p a minute phoneline on the website but I have heard they aren't always helpful - I suppose it depends who answers.

Maybe you need letters from your bosses to say what your job is and that you actually do and that you .are not going to work in Goa.

awaiting our visas sent off 17th November its really nerve racking :cry

Visa status still showing :- Application created Nov.8th 2010 -:Beginning to think I may have made a mistake somewhere in the application


I think I know what has happened, when applying for visa I was asked how I would like passports to be returned I clicked onto S.D.E. thinking that the cost was added to my visa charges. I sent the two addressed S.D.Es. for the return of passports but they have not been paid for.Could anyone tell me what I should do next.

Before realising my mistake I emailed V.F.S.to ask if there was a problem with my application, as the status was still showing as above.

Would it be better to email them again or wait for them to reply to my first email.

Thanks for any help

Been up to P.O.explained to them, showed receipt, and they confirmed I had only paid for one S.D.E. :duh and not the two to be returned.So will just hang fire for a day or two, and see what happens

Were off on the 11/2/2011, so not really panic time, it was just the fact i didn't know what i had done wrong .

Took my application up to Goswell Road, Victoria on Wednesday. Checked today and they are ready for collection. 2 days I don't think thats bad. When it works it works and we are lucky to live near London as posting them seems to be a bit of a nightmare.

Referring back to the new larger size photographs that are required for visas, has anyone had to pay for the new size and how much did it cost?
Reply

hi just to let people who like me didnt know
that now your normal run of the mill passport photo is not sufficient for your new visa
it now has to be 50mm which is almost twice the size of the ones we use for everywhere else in the world
