This is not Fair at all.

Applicants from other countries like China, Croatia, etc are getting visas in 11 weeks. And we are lucky to get a CO assigned in that time.

Hi,

I am newbie...

Visa application lodging date :20th July 2011
Case officer assigned on: 3rd October 2011
I was expecting the case officer to be assigned within 8 weeks i.e by 20th September 2011, but i was assigned in 10 weeks rather.

CO : Sadana Mousumi
Documents Requested : form 80, birth certificate and PCC
I had already submitted the PCC on 12th of August 2011, as i did not have the PCC while initial submission. But when the CO asked for PCC again,i just replied back stating that i had already submitted the orginial PCC way before on 12th Aug 2011, i also gave her the reference number i received from VFS after submission to ease her trace.

I called AHC 2 days back and the operator told me that the case has been moved for final decision.

any idea how many days will it take, i have scanned this entire forum, along with the status excelsheet, as far as i guess it shuld take not more than 4 weeks max to max, and also the operator told me the same thing that i should call back in 1 month, when i asked her that i wanna spk to my CO, she told me there is no point in speaking to her as the case has been moved further to Senior CO.

Any suggestions are appreciated...

Nimmi Nambiar
I complete 3 full months today, 20th OCt 2011.

Default Good News / Granted

Dear All,


Firstly thanks for this Forum it has been very helpful.

We got our grant letter this morning.

Applied: 1st June 2011
Grant: 20th October 2011

Some tips for others:

1) Please furnish each and every document required while applying for VISA for the first time itself.
2) Go do the medicals well in advance.
3) Avoid at all cost CO to find documents missing and requesting again.

I would give a special recognition and compliments to the Migration Team in Immigration. They are really trying to do their best. Appreciations and applaud to them.

Regards

Wow... Thats really early... Not fair to some people still waiting from 2 may...
Congratulations man.... Very good news for u but it seems they are higly unorganised... 2 may waiting and 1 june got visa and when we call they say we can't get priority over other applicants even if we have fractured spine....just highly inconvincing....

Congrats samarth..
Wish you all the best...

My guess is that AHC, Delhi will clear all apps lodged before 1st July, 2011 quckly..
These are the apps allegedly to be cleared within 5 months.. Current trend reflects this which is good for the people

I agree with you staff at AHC, Delhi doing their best.... it was revealed when I was lucky enough to have chat with my CO.

I would like to add one more thing into your list u mentioned, this is my personal opinion ---

"Keep your online activity very clear and clean" --- be it
orkut/facebook/shadi.com or whatever
do not post anything silly, who knows what they might check..
