Email from VFS

Not wishing to jump the gun but can we celebrate

Better to wait until your wife has her passport.

I'm not being negative, but VFS has no idea about the visa decision. These are standard auto-generated messages about the process status. The Embassy will not inform VFS on visa decisions.

Fingers crossed now.

Your processed visa application reference no.,,,,,,,,,,,,, dispatched to you via 2GO Aboitiz on 03/06/2012 Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.

We had that same messages but never did get a message from the embassy itself (like Derby Princess) stating that our visa had been dispatched. We therefore had to wait till we got the parcel back from them and look into it......and of course the visa was in it, just no definite message from the embassy which just goes to show how hit or miss they can be when releasing visas and issuing notifications to their "customers".

I can only assume that there isn't a standard procedure for ECOs on notification to applicants when releasing visas or if there is then they don't all abide by it.
