It's a while since I did my application and the form has changed since but I think it's on the page that says something like 'make appointment and pay'.

Can you retrieve your application and get to that point and pay? Don't worry if you don't want to make an appointment, the website is a bit confusing there.

If not (and nobody else on here can give better advice about paying) your postal order should be made payable to:
VF Services UK Ltd

You can confirm that on this link:
http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/touristvisa_fees.html

I'm not sure what you mean about sending your itinerary.
Where does it ask for this on the VFS website?

I signed the second one, it will not cause any harm to sign it

Education I put secondary higher, they are hardly likely to check
NI number put "NA" as it means National Identity number

You are really stuck on this one, you either just blag it & leave the previous travel to India off along with the previous Visa number or you have to try & get in touch with the VFS/Indian Consulate & try to obtain the details which will according to peoples past dealings will be a nightmare.

Does anyone know what the average turn around is now?

I just dropped off my visa application by hand yesterday to the Edinburgh VFS. They told me that things are running rather more slowly than usual and that I should expect a delay of between 8 and 10 working days before I can collect it. Postal takes a little longer than that at present I'm told.

Hi all hopefully one FINAL question I have all the necessary requirements to send off mine and my daughters applications off today, but was just wondering because they are two separate applications as could not find the add another application like past times, would it be ok to send them in one envelope and include one envelope for return?? :think they are for the same address :banghead:
be glad when this is all over
