hussain Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Guys, anyone know currently how much processing time UK visa's are taking? I want to travel December end. I've applied for the visa, my biometrics are on 22 / 23. That gives me a month. It is strongly advised not to book anything, but If I wait the costs go up by a lot Please advice if anyone here is experienced in this.

Yeah, my friend applied for it via VFS Delhi. She got it within 3 weeks. Another friend has also applied, under processing since 2 weeks. Although I have heard that some got it within 10 days as well. Quite a lot of demand, hence the variability. They do have fast track options but it's expensive.

KunjanPSD Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 I was also looking to travel to UK in Dec but postponed. Might just do some parts of Europe next year. Probably US as well, visa is just sitting ducks in my passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFS global doesnt show me that service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFS global doesnt show me that service It's technically not via VFS but via the UK Visa website. It's anyway costs almost 60k/person and gets you the visa in 5 days, so not practical. Just apply asap in the normal way and hopefully you'll get it by mid-dec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever you renew your passport, the Passport number changes, if there’s an option to change that information in the ticket details after booking the ticket, then you may book it. Also, the older passport number is mentioned in the new one, maybe that will help. My suggestion is to ask the airlines customer support first.

dante77 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 What is the best and cheapest way to book flights to Goa from Delhi (or Lucknow). When I searched in Paytm, the flights are usually taking more than 6-7 hours! Even from Delhi which just wouldn't work out.Also, which platform do you guys use for booking flight tickets?Thinking of Goa/Andaman etc. Before Office opening with wife.Also, what are the hill stations in India where we could directly reach there with flight? Hill Stations are good but I don't like the journey to reach there, usually get carsick and too many change needed when opting for transport. It's kind of a hindrance for me. I know many people actually love the journey itself. Not me. Maybe with bike someday with friends but not like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My flatmate had a horrible experience with Go Air recently. His flight to shillong was cancelled few hours before taking off. Got zero support from the staff. He had to book another ticket for double the price. Normally in my experience airlines like indigo make alternate arrangements but nothing here. To top it all off he literally got a refund of 500 rupees for all this bullshit. Would help if you guys can retweet or something. Expected from Go or Spice. Indigo is slightly better, but their staff is the rudest IMO. I consciously try to avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hussain Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Why are UK visa applications deliberately so difficult. 2 months after I did the biometrics and everything I got a message saying "Visa is processed" BUT THEY DONT TELL YOU IF ITS APPROVED OR NOT. WHY. ASSHOLES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 I think you know that by actually receiving your passport? Schengen visas are also like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hussain Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 I was supposed to go on 9th. But there is a work thing for which I will have to delay. Anyone know the best/cheapest way to get match tickets? There is a liverpool v west ham match on the 5th and a lfc v inter on 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
