Another batch of members waiting for their visas

[mickcant]

Us too, but not feeling optimistic at all. Its just taking too long and should the application be refused, then thats 3 nearly 4 months down the drain.

Does anyone know if they have some sort of initial screening process?

Hi all,
I agree its the "not knowing" how the application is going that gets to us, I switch my mobile phone on every morning hoping for an excited txt to say Jennifer has been told her visa is ready.
I have not been able to get anything from the online checker, have tried the two I know of. When I asked about it when I phoned they just confirmed the application was in the queue.

Hi again,
Irecived a reply to my email today that gave me anouther link and also a different reference number.
You may track your application on our website www.vfs-uk-ph.com using your reference number and date of birth, click on the "Track your Application" on the home page.

On using it it worked
This message came up: "Your visa application has been forwarded to the British High Commission"
Is this just to say its in the Queue, or could it be good news?
Hopefull Mick.

I honestly believe that you are all just wasting your time.

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
4 weeks to 14 weeks, but there will be NO news made available.
Status 1 NEVER changes... there is NO update ...until you get that txt.

I completely agree, but hey, im a sucker for punishment.

Any news from anyone at all? the end of march applicants must have been through by now and the beginning of aprils started. Anyone heard anything recently?
