You need two UK referees in case of emergency. You don't need to put Indian ones.

Don't you have the name and address of a hotel yet?
I'd put the British Deputy High Commission, Mumbai (+ 91 22 6650 2222) as they are responsible for Goa, not Delhi.
Address is:
Naman Chambers, C/32 G Block Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra (East) Mumbai 400 051

Someone on another website asked VFS Global if it is acceptable to put NA or not applicable for a referee and they said it is okay to put this for a TOURIST VISA if you do not know of a referee in India, though I'd personally still recommend putting your hotel details or BDHC as the first referee as a safeguard.
Don't put in any commas between address lines and no spaces between the phone numbers.

Franny as it's saying your application has been received at Hayes then at least you know that they have got it and are processing your visa's, keep a close eye on the VFS tracking (silly thing to say as I know you are) your status should change on there soon and then you can really relax - everyone on here is rooting for you, it'll be fine, you'll see, Fizz :kiss

:wave: Once again many thanks.I feel as if I am glued to the computer lately as thats all I seem to be doing checking the system.But as you say I will not give up hope yet & will just keep tracking it. :thanks :thanks
