    The walk in......

    As I mentioned to my previous post that I will try WALK IN SUBMISSION even my appointment is on 27th March, Luckily I made the WALK IN yesterday, so my waiting time started and here goes my experience…..

    At first I thought I wasn’t able to get in coz we arrived 5:20 in the morning I was listed at no.36. So I wrote my name and went back to the car I supposed to get a few minutes nap but I can’t do it my mind occupied for my submission purpose and I feel excited and a bit nerve-racking. So what I did went back to the queue and made chitchat to some applicant as well. At exactly 6:20 am the main entrance of Phil AXA building opened, everybody were in a hurry I wondered the queue gone. So I was rushed as well coming near to the entrance. Then the security guard requested to fall in line again, someone gave the name listed but the guards didn’t mind it they just want us to fall in line near the entrance.

    Here’s a tip BE ALERT!

    There’s along queue I cannot remember how many were left when I was allowed to enter the building. So I guess there are many WALK IN applicants were refused to enter the building.
    While I was inside the lift I remember my documents which were still in the car. It was too heavy to carry while in queue that’s why I left it there for the meantime. But when the another set of queue going on this time at VFS center and waited again to open the office I have a chance to go down at ground floor to get docs, but I informed the Lady whom I followed on queue that reserved my space, then rushing to get the docs in the car with the Security Guard awareness (at the main entrance bldg.) so I don’t have problem going back again on 25th floor (VFS Application Center). So exactly 8:45 my number was called and just about few minutes I was done with my submission.

    Btw I just cancelled my appointment on 27th March to allow slot for other applicant

    Goodluck to other members

    Goodluck Kukurokuk, wish all the best on your application
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    good luck leah

    i've just come back from the NCS with the misses, they checked her citizenship app, photocopied everything they needed, gave back all the docs, and have sent it to the HO. not bad for £45, but if me misses didn't need her passport, i wouldn't have used NCS, as its pretty much straight forward form,

    evidence i took was a letter from her manager stating the number of days she had not actually worked, marriage cert, life in uk cert and our passports, less than 20 mins and we were off home.

    now for the long wait ...............

    Thanks Joe my guardian angel

    Speaking of photocopies the staff told me maybe the documents with no photocopies wont return back to me, I told my fiance about it and he worried what are those, told him It's our evidences of relationship like sms,ym archives,screenshot and snailmail. He told me you should put note on snail mail to "Pls. return the stamps" a stamp collector plea

    Goodluck Joe and ur mrs.
    Happy waiting

    Hi Sis Leah, I did the same. As what i've told you when we had a chat that i just walked in, no appointments made. There was a queue and we were given numbers so there's no rush.

    I wish you all the best. Goodluck on your application.

    Sending Visa application in UK need personal appearance for Biometric scanning so I guess u can't send it via post, always hand them at the Application center
