just going off a few posters on here who have had their visa within 2 weeks

the vfs website is also saying 91% processed within the 30 day period

[donnabelvaldeo]

Don't worry sparky, it will come soon.

i got my visa in 9weeks and 2 days.

[somebody]

You may have found also the Embassy will have had other pressing issues such as holy week(holidays) and the ash crisis to deal with.
Also over the years I have been on this site and others the between march and September seems to be peak time for visa applications.

Im sure you will have good news soon:xxgrinning--00xx3:

don't worry too much sparky, she will get it. keep us updated 'bout it. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[joebloggs]

its just luck that some one got one in a week, last year it was taking on average nearly 3 months..

so stop worrying, as long as you get your visa, that's all that counts :xxgrinning--00xx3:

We've been waiting for 4 weeks and today my fiancee got her email saying that the application was ready for collection at VFS and to come and pick it up. Now I'm scared.. is it approved or not, we will soon see. I'm actually surprised because I thought it would take longer after she was asked to take all the documents out of their neat and ordered folders, only to stick it into one big pile without much order :Rasp: doh.

Wish us luck.

[malditako]

don't worry sparky it be good news for sure....vfs told me the processing time is 3 months..i call my application lucky coz i got it early. just wait :)

[lordna]

Sparky, dont worry if you have not heard yet. We posted ours on March 3rd and got the message it was with the courier on 28/4. Actually my wifes not at her home yet so havnt seen the visas yet buti think we have them for her and her daughter.

Good luck!

[stevewool]

[sparky]

[lyka]

[Filipino]

Sparky chin up mate. 5 weeks = 25 days less any holidays. The figures you quote are working days.

Sure it will arrive soon.

[warriorprincess]

will they keep the passport for that long?

[joebloggs]

will they keep the passport for that long?

:D if they dont how will they stick the visa in it :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[sparky]

well my mrs aint ever been abroad before so having it at the embassy wont be any hardship-unless it comes back empty:cwm23:

[bornatbirth]

we got our in 6 weeks, so i shouldnt worry. :)

[proud2bepinay]

dont worry im sure the waiting is worth once the visa gets approved i got mine after a month.

[warriorprincess]

Hiya joebloggs.
i know that they have stickers but because we are travelling and work will allow us for 2 weeks break i want to get my passport back and in case i can return it if i got the visa? indeed it i a sticker that they can just paste it when i return.
sorry very uneasy and i am glad to see and get help from those whose been in the position.

i always thought the '30 days' were actually 'office days' (5 per week)? ..therefore 30 days in their terms = 6 weeks, not 4
