In most cases NA is sufficient if you don't have any details of parents.Have you much time left to be able to send off all the details they have asked for?

Hi Franny, that is really bad luck. In most cases NA is sufficient if you don't have any details of parents.
Have you much time left to be able to send off all the details they have asked for?

Gosh Franny, your problem makes most insignificant. I presume you meant you were leaving on the 15th of October (
We fell for the NA trap this time hving passed last time with the same answer but that was for referees. One of the things I guess they are looking for on VISA applications are connections to terror hence the request for parental background. At least both our situations have highlighted potential problems for others to avoid. In your situation I would think the best policy is to put "unknown" and send a copy of the birth certificate.
All the very best of luck in getting this situation resolved in time.
) I presume you grabbed a last minute holiday with no previous experience of getting a VISA.due to travel 15th of this month

Hi Franny
When filling my forms in I also put NA for both father and mother of my wife,and NA for my father, I posted forms Monday, then received a phone call from Hayes on Tuesday, asking for details of all three parents, I just had to tell them the christian names and Nationality,of all three, over the phone, the man on the end thanked me, and told me there was no problem, and we should receive passports back with visas by Friday Which thankfully we did. Have you tried to sort it out over the phone. Hope everything turns out O/K for you all, I'm sure it will, and have a great time.

No one rang us !!!!
My problem could easily have been sorted over the phone had they given me the chance but they simply sent them back with a cover note requesting I filled in details of two UK referees.
Seems like the luck of the draw who gets your application, as previously stated, ours sailed through last year without the need for filling in this information.

You can retreive your application by entering the wrong details, ie the ones you have put in, but I don't think you can change the number of the passport. You can still go ahead, pay and print it off then manually change the appliction form with the correct details ( making sure you sign against the alterations). I would send a cover note with it too.
However,depending on the time you have available I think I would send them an e mail asking them to clear both applications and start again.
Good luck Dave

OH well I posted the visa applications back yesterday,just hope they are right this time, cant really rest because Iam due to fly out Sun 1st Nov:just wish I knew if they were right.Never had this problem before.Just one small thing thats troubling me-about half way down the application form where it says -Port of entry,I put Dabolim Goa then is it right that I put Port of exit also as Dabolim Goa.I noticed quite a few of you have had the visas back in a few days.lets hope I have this luck as well,just wish I could phone them up & correct any minor mistakes i may have made but unfortunately the times I have rung over the last coupe of days all I get told is they are not filled in correctly 
.Well its really finger toes & eyes crossed for me.

That's right, Dabolim, Goa twice, as some people will enter at one airport, do some travelling and leave from a different one.
Good luck.

OH once again Iam worried about my visa being returned as Iam getting different answers to my question.If they had only told me what the mistake was I would have been able to correct it but there was no note in it at all.I really hope I have got it right this time,Thanx for the reply.XX
My visa took one week from posting off, to getting back, so hopefully time should be OK.
Did they put any marks or anything on the visa form to show errors?
Did you include the correct payment?
Ask as many questions as many times as you like. We all have to go through the visa system, and will offer help and support as many times as needed.

Just posted ours off today - keeping all fingers and toes crossed I've completed them correctly! Will update in due course
Well
I can confirm that my special delivery envelope that I collected this morning did contain two passports complete with visas Yippee.
Extremely impressed as my finger must have slipped when I put o/h's date of birth on the form and never checked it. I sent the form off with the 12th of August as his brth date and it is actually the 11th. They must have changed it for me.
Lucky or what!!!
Sent them to Hayes, who then sent them to Victoria Centre London (due to the volume being received at Hayes I assume) and received them back yesterday at post office (collected them this morning) 7 working days in total.
Good luck to everyone who is in the process of applying - Not too bad an experience for us this year after all

You wouldn't go without me would you !!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear you have them back.
Just checked my application and it says one was created today which is slightly odd because until today it had the 2/10, the day I first created an application so something has happened and yet it didn't change when I amended then on the 9th.
Ah well, hang on in there !

Go without you .................
To right I would - I told the real other half that if mine came back and his didn't 'cos I'd put the wrong birth date on - sorry and all that hoped he'd have a lovely New Year but I was off on my own !!!!!
Seems like yours is at last moving - Won't be long - keep us informed. Fingers crossed they're OK this time
