This is driving me mad

Now I'm getting message: 'There is a problem with this website's security certificate'. Please can someone help by checking if you can access the form?, that way I will know if it is a genuine problem with the website or something I' doing wrong. I just want to get them filled in!

Thanks

A very frustrated Tracy

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Don't panic Tracy, it isn't your fault!! It would appear that quite a few people are having exactly the same problems today, from what I have just read on another forum. It may be best to leave it until tomorrow when hopefully VFS will have sorted out the problem.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Phew thanks Squigs. Hope they get it sorted tomorrow as a friend is taking them to Birmingham for us on Tuesday.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

If you elect to take your application in person do you have to be physically present or can someone else take them in for you?

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

I hope they can? :think

Our friends took them last year without any problems but that was before all these changes! I'll let you know if we encounter any problems.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Ive taken friends visa applications thru to Edinburgh at the same time I was handing in my own.

On one of the visits a guy in the consulate advised me that you can only hand in an application if its for a family member, not friends :duh

so I told him my friend was my sister :rofl

he seemed to except that.

The next time I went (to the new Visa Centre in Rose Street) it wasnt questioned at all and he took the 4 applications off me :que

I think they just make the rules up as they go along!

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Sent my application on 23/11/10 and it was received and signed for at Hayes 24/11/10 and payment was taken from my bank account on that date. But when I try to track my application I get the message "sorry record not found" anyone any idea if this is normal? Should I be worried and do I need to contact anyone? and how. Travel date is 28 dec

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Hi everyone well just got back from goswell road took 14 applications and it was quite painless we got there at 8.45 and was all done by 9.30,the only problem we had was with the one person that had paid on line we had her reciept and she had checked and the payment had been taken from her account but it was still showing as not paid so i had to pay again so its now up to her to try and get a refund.Also was a bit annoyed as they were still accepting the old size photo`s.I had got everyone to change their pics for the new size (today though is the last day),i was told that they should be back by thursday so fingers crossed !!!!!

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Hi Boromick,
unless things have changed yet again, all postal applications should be sent to Hayes.
I would suggest you phone Manchester and ask if they have forwarded your application to Hayes.

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

I don't know if I am allowed to post a link to another Goa forum but in this case I think it should be allowed.
It looks like there could be big problems with the VFS website.
Please be aware!!

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Hi

Not to scaremonger but looks like there are some gremlins in the on-line visa service and some security issues.

Please be wary about inputting data and especially the on-line payment area!

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

Well our friend took our applications to Brimingham this morning as he works near there (one day a week) but the queues were huge each time he checked. The appointment system on the website is not working so it looks like everyone is having to queue.

It looks like I am going to have to book a days holiday from work and go myself as we have booked for the 7th Jan and time is ticking by (I'm starting to panic!). I paid online so I'm hoping everything is OK especially with all the posts about security issues. I'll keep checking my bank online! I have paid stating that they will be hand delivered to Birmingham but I live in Leeds so Stockport is nearer. Does anyone know if Stockport will accept them without me having to pay again? :cry

Re: INDIA VISA INFORMATION AND Q&As

This is my first post and I must say, the information on this thread has been a life saver. We are going on NYE, so time is of the essence and I just have a couple of daft questions. I have filled in 3 online applications - one each for my wife and 13 year old daughter. (The forms are such an improvement over the previous version.) I intend to now pay online and book an appt at the Manchester office. (Calling the VFS helpline confims that I should get an appt within just a few days.)

1. When I go through the booking process, do I create an appt for each of the 3 applications - ie pay 3 times ? Are you able to 'connect' the 3 to the same appt ? How does this work ?

2. Being a minor, my daughter's passport has no signature. Does she, therefore, still need to sign the form ?

Many thanks.
