Visa delay for us!!

Rang VFS Global today because our visas have not arrived!

95p a minute!! Unreal. They then gave me a number to call the DX to trace the package.

So I rang them only to be told that the name on the envelope is not right, they have put Steve's surname as his first name and vice versa. Also they had the wrong delivery address.

So I had to phone VFS again to ask them to change this and email the DX company.

I don't feel good about this as I have no control over what is happening. I think I will call the DX company back later on.

Panicking a bit now though

Visa Problem

Hi sent mine and husbands passports to be processed last monday. Mine went to be processed last thursday, according to vfs website,but when i try to track my husbands it comes up as no record of it. Just been on vfs website again and mine has been handed over to royal mail for return posting, but husband still says there is no record of his. I am quiet worried about this, has anyone else had the same problem. Have emailed vfs and are waiting for a reply, but i believe they are slow in replying. Thanks Denham

Denham
I'd be inclined to agree with Papa if your applications were pretty much the same i.e. your hubby didn't answer NA to any question that you answered or doesn't have a UK passport.

As your application is pretty much on its way back to you, you should find out soon anyway but I'm sure they'll both be back OK.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Visas was delivered today but nobody was in, i was at work and hubby was on his way to work. So they have gone back to royal mail depot. Can only pick them up between 7.00 am and 12.00 noon. Will ask hubby if he can get it in the morning or will have to wait till friday as its my day off. So will have to wait and see if they are both in envelope. Denham

Anyone know if Squigs has made it back or has she been locked up somewhere?

Longer period Tourist Visa

Not sure whether this is fact or not - anyone else any info please?
I went to Edinburgh VFS for my sixth annual tourist 6 month Visa application last week and I was told that it may be possible to obtain a longer period (one year?) visa on my next annual visit - provided I can show the six previous visa stamps in old passports.
I notice that there is actually a price for a one year Tourist Visa in the application instructions.
I was also told that it's not guaranteed, it's discretionary.
Has anyone ever got a one year tourist visa?

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Hi all, posting this for a friend.

She's looking to book a late deal, so wondered what she should put down as the address on her visa application? As she won't know until it's too late to obtain a visa.

She's looking to travel to South Goa, can she therefore just put down any hotels address???

Any idea what the current turnaround time is from completing your app online / posting passports off - to receiving them back home?

Cheers.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Got visas back today, but my husbands surname has been spelled wrong, they have missed a D out. Can anyone help, as i dont think they would let him into goa with his surname spelled wrong. Does this mean he will have to pay for a new visa or will they correct it free of charge. We have been going ten years and never had a problem before. Only five weeks till we go and could have done without this problem. Thanks Denham :cry

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Have emailed them and given them my home phone number, if i dont get a reply by tomorrow i will have to ring them. Just hope we dont have to pay for a new visa, but even so it will cost another £11 to send it back Thanks Denham
