document tracking

[5olidsnake]

document tracking removed from VFS Philippines website

email sent to VFS to ask if tracking will be up and running soon?

so will get on the phone in a few weeks if no response.

Cynthia submitted documents 14th June, so from Ebony's application of 2 months might find out the result in 2 weeks.
anxiety setting in now, i think patience is called for.

I noticed, too, that the link disappeared, so I immediately sent an e-mail, and surprise, surprise I received an answer within a couple of hours.
I also e-mailed the visa section at the embassy, but for some reason I don't really think I am going to get an answer there..., this side of Christmas... anyway....

The answer as you can see is pretty standard and as impersonal as it can be .

I know that our application only went in on the 4th of july, and when I managed to speak to someone in VISA section, on the 18th, I was told that at that time they were processing applications submitted on the 26th of June.
So I presume that the wait won't be that long. He would not comment on a time frame, unfortunately.
Good job that I was at my best behaviour.
And yes, Jet is growing restless and more worried by the day.





Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX,

Greetings from UK VAC!

Please accept our apologies at not having been able to successfully track the application thru our website. It is currently unavailable due some updates. It will be available soon as the system is currently working out on it. Your wife’s visa application is still on process. It was delivered to the British Embassy last July 4, 2007. For EEA Family Permit visa applications the visa section targets to process applications in 15 working days. This process results in one of 2 outcomes: Issuance of visa or Refusal of visa. It is also possible that the processing time may go beyond 15 working days as we are currently in the peak travel season to the United Kingdom. If an Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) decides to require an interview, our office will inform her of the interview procedure. This could be done by calling her at her residence or by sending her a text message through her mobile.

You may check her application thru our website www.vfs-uk-ph.com using the barcode and passport number or by birth date, click on the “Track your Passport” on left side the home page.

You may also track her visa application by calling the British embassy call center from any of the following numbers:

For PLDT/Smart/Touchcard Subscribers: 1-909-858-4727 or 1-909-UKVISAS
For Globe/Innove/Touchmobile Subscribers: 1-900-858-4727 or 1-900-UKVISAS
For Bayantel Subscribers: 1-903-858-4727 or 1-903-UKVISAS

Simply inform the call center agent of the passport number and full name. This service is available nationwide through NDD-enable telephones, Monday to Friday 8:00am to 8:00pm, Saturdays 8:00am to 6:00pm. For applicants or sponsors calling from outside the Philippines can call on +632 884 2661.

Yours truly,
UK VAC

Why dont you just give the embassy a ring about your application,in that case you'll hear it straight from them about the update of your docs.

Did they give any other reasons?

Don't forget to enquire whatever we think the embassy is a goverment department that has to respond to enquires within a certain time etc.

A few years back now i think a user known as peterdavid wrote a great piece about how the embassy has to apply for certain paperwork from the phill authorities so in some cases it can take ages while waiting for paperwork to be issued it think the one in question was the cenomar which is to prove a person is single. I think also NBI and all the other phill certs need checking.

Always worth just enquiring if you need help with the letter just put a shout on this forum im sure we can all help Sir

[aromulus]

Yes, I did find out today that the delay in processing was mainly caused by the Visa Section request to the NBI.

It seems that the NBI only have 2 speeds.... slow and stop...

Obviously they didn't think to engage into first gear
