From previous postings, and my experience, there are only TWO statuses.

1. "Your application has been forwarded to the Embassy"
(Which, as u submitted in person to VFS is obvious, but I guess they need
to do, to officially confirm)

and

2. the txt you get which says...."Your passport is available to collect"


As we are all too aware, the time between status 1 - 2 can be anything from
6/8 weeks to 18 weeks, but there will be NO news made available.
Status 1 NEVER changes... there is NO update ...until you get that txt.

I'm sorry, but my experience is different... I learned that my visa was with the courier when I checked VFS website. They didn't text me though..

So, better check with the website... you won't die if you will... and besides, you'll get the shock of your life when you read a different status (since you were so used to reading "application is forwarded to British high commission")... My status 2 was "application processed returned to courier" (I opted to have my docs delivered to my house and have missed it twice actually...

Good luck!
