Hi guys im a new member here who is still praying my visa will be granted
i apply July 16 so its 4 weeks now but the british consulate send me this email

To the British Community in Pampanga

As a result of damage to the Asia-Pacific Cable Network in the South China Sea and the subsequent loss of IT/Internet Systems, the British Embassy regrets to announce that there are likely to be delays in processing applications for UK visas and British passports.

As soon as we have more precise information, this will be posted on our website www.ukinthephilippines.fco.gov.uk and will appear in the local press.

[angel17]

any good news?

[Mrs.JMajor]

I've submitted an application on 07 August, 2009. Do you think that the July processing times will be applicable for my Tier 4 application? They haven't updated the processing times website yet, and it's the 18th now.

Earlier, when I was complaining, the Tracking website was unavailable. But now, it says: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm nervous.

Cheers, mate. I think I have mentioned it earlier, but sure.

I lodged my PBS - Tier 4 visa application last 07 August, 2009. I was one of the first people who arrived there, at around 5AM! Had to wait 'til 6:30AM to get inside the building.

Congratulation !

When did you apply July 15 or August 07

I submitted my Student (Tier 4) visa application last 15 July, 2009, and my partner just called the British Embassy here in the Philippines. He was informed that a decision has been made on 23rd. My question is, how long will it be for the British Embassy to send it back to VFS, and for them to send it to me?

Thank you!

*I'm sooooo anxious and nervous!!!!!!!!*

Hi all,
I am relived to say on checking the website checker today it now says “Your application is ready for collection, please visit the UK Visa Application Centre where you submitted your visa application to collect the same”.
When she submitted her settlement spousal visa application on 16th April 2009, Jennifer was working in Manila, and has since returned home to CDO so I suppose she will when ready go back to Manila to collect her passport and visa then have the CFO seminar before flying here.
I know she has to book a day for the CFO and I need dates from her before I can book her flight.
I am so relived and can only hope Jennifer will travel soon.

19 August 2009: Visa application processing delays: Some applicants may experience delays in the visa application process for non-straightforward visa applications. The UK Border Agency apologises for any inconvenience. Please use the 'track your application' facility and continue to monitor this website for further updates.

This message was on the UKVACS telling us guys of the long wait.

By God's grace, my husband's visa would be granted and so with the rest of people who are in this forum waiting. My husband is on his 15th week, God has his plans.

Another success story [in the end] ... Congratulations! Not exactly sure what a Tier 4 Visa IS, but guess it's for students (perhaps Rural, Urban and/or Environmental Studies - as your pseudonymn suggests?). Good luck with the Course you're about to embark on.
