Topic: EC application status applied during april
Posted by aabcd1234 (57) 07 May 2008
Hi

HSMP Approval :- 25th March
EC applied for :- 4th April (Applied from delhi)
Integra called :- 29th April
EC :- Not yet

Please post your timelines. I am getting worried as the visa status is still the same as before since i applied on 4th April on https://www.vfs.org.in/ApplicantStatus.aspx

Can anyone tell how much more time is it going to take ?

Its really testing my patience ..

Others also provide your timelines those applied during april

cheers

My situation:

HSMP Approval :- 19th March
EC applied for :- 21st April (Applied from delhi)
Integra called :- How do you come to know this? I called my present and previous employer, no body seems to have called them yet. Is this the way to know if Integra is called?
EC :- Not yet
VFS told me that its taking 18 working days in south. I applied in Hyderabad and its going to go to Chennai. I am still in the band of 18 days wait time. My only worry is that Integra has not called anybody yet.

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, please find my details below:

HSMP Approval: 5th Mar
EC Applied: 11th April
VFS: Mumbai
Integra Called: My bank got a call on 6th May for fund verification.
EC: Not Yet

I guess due to change in the HSMP rules (HSMP to Tier 1) the process have slow down considerably, please add your annotations incase you feel otherwise.

Hi,

I called VFS customer care today and asked about the status. Every day they are updating the status after 6 PM (IST). One of the executive told me to check the status on Monday (12th May).

Hey abcd1234,

I see that you've applied on 4th April, was wondering wats the update on verification front.

Did integra called any of your referrals?

Also, I presumed that Mumbai & Delhi are the fastest VISA processing departments, I'm not sure what's causing the delay.

Regards.

Posted by aabcd1234 (57) 09 May 2008
Integra has already done the verification with my employer on 28th April.

I applied from delhi and dont know what is causing the delay ..

really getting upset day by day ...

Is there anyway to track my application apart from VFS department ?

For Mumbai it's 'Bombay.visaenquiries@fco.gov.uk'.

I suppose you can replace the city name with yours and give it a try.

Hi,

I tried calling BHC, Mumbai on 022-66502222 and an IVR played a message to call on following numbers for VISA enquiry:

022-66331700
022-66367066
022-22813616

But, unfortunately all the numbers keeps on ringing and nobody picks it up. I called up the main number (66502222), again and confirmed the issue and they said that's the only number we've been asked to give the customers.

Any idea if there is other number for BHC, Mumbai.

Regards.

Hi aabcd1234,

I suppose yours shouldn't take long as one of the aspirant just posted that when he called up BHC, Chennai they told him that they are going to take decision on his application this week and his application date is 8th April and yours is 4th.

So lets keep our fingers crossed and pray to GOD !!

Hi aabcd1234,

Thank you very much for the numbers.

Unfortunately, out of the three numbers, last two doesn't work and the first one is specifically saying that "VISA enquiry will NOT be dealt".

Thanks again for the information.
