guys,

How about if passports will be handed personally to London CHC for visa stamping. How long do you have to stay in London before you will get your passport with the visa in it? Thank you.

Hi Everyone,
This info is very usefull for people who will be submitting their passports for visa stamping at the London Visa Office. As I have experienced myself last week.
I submitted my passports for stamping on Thursday the 10th Feb, and I was given a receipt to collect passports the 2nd Thursday, however since I needed my passport urgently, and couldn't really wait for the 2 weeks to finish I went the following Thursday to check if the passports were ready, and to my great surprise and excietment they were actually ready, and I collected them and I'm now back home in Dubai.

An advsie would be if you really need your passport try to be there early on the day of submittion probably by 1 o'clock max, as probably what they do is issue passports to a certain number of people and usually if you are there first you might be able to get it the following THURSDAY.

NOW no need to ask them if it will be ready in one week as they will say no, and realy on the day of submittion they rarely talk to you, they only ask you for your file number to write on the receipt, and the envelope they will be putting your passports, form and photos in, so it is highly recomended that you actually make sure you have everything you need to give them as they will not receck these documents before putting them in the envelope. If you go the following week for collection again no need to tell them you came in last week,  they will just ask for your receipt number and the receipt and if they have it they will handed it over to you.
That's it for now, if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Sihs, definitely I am very interested about the name, address, and the cost of the hotel where you stayed. Is it near the place where the CIC office is located? There are three of us in our PR application. Do we all need to appear before them to submit the passport for visa stamping or I can go alone and bring with me the passports of my dependents? Thank you very much.

No worries aspire any time buddy.
The hotel's name is Montana Hotel, the address is:
67-69 Gloucester Road Kensington London SW7 4PG UK, Reservation #: (020) 75847654 or reservations @ montanahotel.co.uk, and web address: www.montanahotel.co.uk

I booked a single room with shared bathroom, and it cost 57 Pounds and if you stay 7 days or more you get the last night free.

The place is opposite the rooad from Gloucester underground tube station which is very convenient, as it's only a few stops to the place where the CIC office is, it took me about 20-25 minutes to get there.

Only you need to go and submitt the passports, photos and updated information list as they rest of the family is not required to appear in person, all they will do is take all these documents from you, and give you a receipt, it only takes about 2-3 minutes when you get your turn to submit the passports.
I wish you all the best, good luck and if you need any more information please let me know.

aspire, one more thing I forgot to tell you about the hotel is that this rate of 57 pounds/night includes free continental breakfast and free internet in the room. And there are many fast food chains around the hotel, a couple of supermarkets, and different coffee shops, along with a wide variety of resturants so there shouldn't be a problem when it comes for food choices. Opposite to the hotel there is also an internet cafe in case you don't have your laptop on you.
