Visa Application Status

[menchkin]

I checked my visa application through online tracking system at VFS Global website and received this message status:

"Your application is ready for collection; please visit the UK Visa Application Centre where you submitted your visa application to collect the same 14 Oct 2008"

Thus this mean that my application was successful? and my visa is ready to pick-up? (not courier).

anyone can enlighten me about this? Thank you!

The advise that you got thru SMS does not equate to "VISA GRANTED". The only time you will know the result is when you open your passport when you claim it from the VFS center. You have to go there tomorrow to know the result of your application. I was also quite nervous when I got the same text message from the VFS 1 and half weeks ago (I also chose to pick up the visa result from the VFS center instead of have it sent via courier). I tore open the sealed envelope and immediately browsed thru the pages of my passport and there on page 5 is my visa. hehe! I hope your visa application result is favorable. Let us know okie.

It's okay if you won't be able to pick it up by tomorrow. You can get it on Oct 16. Have a safe flight and hope that you're granted a visa.
