I've read lots of posts that said the Post Office said that the VFS postcode was for a Fiat dealer.

Actually, if you look at the VFS website under 'Contact us' under Hayes information it mentions that Fiat Direct has authorised clamping in operation for any unregulated parking in front of their showroom on the road leading to Canalside.

So, no need for concern.

Hello
I am just about to do the visa application online. Dont really wnt to trawl the whole thread. So my question is. Have there been any changes since I did the application at this time last year. If I remember I did it online and paid the fee and sent the downloaded application etc to Consulate General in Birmingham and it came back from there about 2 weeks later. I live in West Yorks.

Hi, the only change is that now all postal applications go to Hayes.

Thanks. One more thing. What with the Royal Mail situation,does anyone know if Visa's are being returned by RM or are they using someone else? Also does anyone know of a good courier I could use to send my application?

I can't help you with the courier, but RM website states that they will continue to deliver RM Special Delivery items throughout the strike.

RM have changed this information over the last few weeks.
Whilst there were wild-cat strikes, they said they were giving SD items priority.
Then during the strike, they said the same but were suspending the time of delivery guarantees.

I think you can opt to pay for a courier (company called DX?) for the return of your passports at a higher cost than paying for SD.

Hi

I have filled in the forms online. If I pay for them online do I have to send any more money with the postal application or is that it.

I am sure they dont want people to visit with all the hassle they give us

thanks

If you pay on line, job done for the visas. If you chose to pay for the return courier, that's done too.

Other wise you need to pay for the envelopes for the journey both ways.

Cannot believe this turnaround. Handed my stuff in at Manchester this Monday the 26th got it all back today the 29th by courier DX... even got an email to say it was on the van for delivery today. Cannot fault it at all.

Roll on 11/11 :cheers

Crikey Bapu Boy! If there was an award for the quickest turnaround with a Visa application, I think yours would stand a really good chance of winning it.

Have a lovely holiday.

One last question (honest). When I send my visa form off in the post does it have to be filled in using a pen or can I send the printed one off the visa site.

Thanks again all

Getting excited alreadyt and haven't even sent it off yet

:D :cheers

did you do the on-line application?

If so, just print it off and sign and date the bottom of the form - IN BLACK INK (sorry for shouting).

don't forget to keep a note of:
your passport number
your application reference number (14 characters, I think)
your outward SDE reference (if applicable)
your return SDE reference (if applicable)
