posted 16th Nov recieved back Dec 6th no problems with Visa considering all the referees were ficticious made up names , the photos were small photo booth photos and the application was hand written
your one of the lucky ones . as i was saying be for on here , altho im from belfast i hold an irish passport and didnt have any bills with my name on it to say i lived at this address. for more than 3 years ,altho i did send prove ..ie birth/ marriage line plus other documents thats were my problem lay, but the nice guy in london who was dealing with them helped me a lot, in the i had to fill out a non resdiency form. and give my daughters address in the south, as thats what they asked for an address were passport was issued from. and get my visa that way, ok it cost a bit more but i needed it. going to apply for a british passport after christmas as was told i can hold two passports, so wont be caught out for next year tammie
Visas just arrived!!!!! Handed in at Manchester last Friday 3rd December....took 6 working days. I'm so giddy
aw im so pleased for you , now you can relax and look forward to your holiday , have a lovely time tammie
Thanks Tammie I sure will
sorry for asking these questions...must have been asked a thousand times...but...
How much does a visa cost when sending to Hayes, by postal order...is it still £30 + £9.05 fee....total £39.05
I cannot find the cost anywhere on any site.
Do you need to get any of the photos signed...(it says on the downloaded forms....Paste your unsigned recent colour photograph...)...HELP.
Yes it is £39.05 p at least that is what they take when making payment online.
I pasted one photo on the front and signed underneat, the other I did actually sign on the back although I wasn't sure if that was needed.
I guess I'll find out in the next day or so if I have done right - my status is now showing handed to royal mail
Passports/visa arrived today after last Thursday's failed delivery. 6 days' turnaround from taking them to Manchester. What a relief.
It can be done !
We sent our visa applications by special delivery to Hayes on 29/11/10 and amazingly got our visa's today. Whats the big deal you may ask? Well we applied for 3 visa's, for me, my wife and our 18 months old son. Having read the previous entries on here regarding all the problems i was certain we would encounter similar problems, for the followng reasons. 1: I am a police officer therefore require letter from employers stating that i am not going to engage in any police work whilst in Goa (as if!). 2: We are taking 18 month old child therefore require further docs such as birth certificate, consent etc. 3: We applied on 28th November and sent the old applications. 4: We didnt sign any declarations. 5: We used normal passport photos and not the new size.... The list goes on. Reading the problems others have experienced we didnt hold out much hope as we seemed to have done alot of things wrong and missed a couple of things. I think it just goes to show that it probably depends on who process's your visa and whether you get a jobsworth or not! One last thing though i can't work out why they have issued my wife and i a 3 month visa with single entry however issued my 18 month old son a 6 month visa with multiple entries... strange. Anywaynow the visa stress is over for another year we can look forward to our trip to Cavellosim on 14th Jan. We havn't been for a couple of years due to the arrival of the little one, so looking forward to it!
Wow Dazzla you did well then! Can you recommend anywhere to stay in Cavelossim? We are staying there for a couple of nights 8th & 9th Jan before heading up North.

what can one say!!!! speechless!!
chilly
Absolute farce, strange logic as the only one of your party who will not be spending any rps gets the best visa!
all part of the fun! just think how good you feel now, a great way to start xmas
all the time when you are tracking your application it keeps showing record not found is always worrying, maybe this is a way to get you to use the premium rate phone line or is that just the synical me comeing out
We posted on 26 nov, they were signed for on 29 Nov - then there was nothing until 9 December. So 18 days from start to receipt, 10 days longer than last year when we submitted handwritten applications.
14 days and only just processing.....perhaps instead of 'no record found' they should change the status to 'not yet got round to opening your envelope'.
