If your dad could get her visa application reference number (she should have a reciept from VFS Global with this on it) there is an online checking system on the VFS Global website https://www.vfs.org.in/UKG-PassportT...L8//QveaP7PAbm that he can log onto and check the progress or status of the visa application. He could also try calling or emailing the British Embassy ManilaVisaEnquiries.manila@fco.gov.uk or VFS Global info.ukph@vfshelpline.com in Manila. Whatever happens they won't tell him the result, (whether the visa application has been successful or not) but they should tell him if it has been processed and if it has been couriered or is waiting to be collected. Maybe someone else on this forum will be able to give you the enquiry phone numbers for both the British Embassy and VFS Global.
