I received E-mail from chc london on 16th Dec and I have 45 days for the visa stamping.
Questions are:-
1. 45 days are working days or flat count from 16th dec 2010.
As We have applied for tourist visa for UK. I am afraid that last deadline will be pased. what would you recommend can I get extension from CHC London for another month and meantime look or someone who is going to London.
2. what are the other alternatives for Visa stamping
Many Thanks
Ricky

Ricky, 45 days are calendar days, i.e flat straight days, not business days. There are no other means for stamping other than your VO. no other VO can stamp it for you. Look, don't waste this very precious chance, asking for an extension carries ungauaranteed consequences and risks. Good luck on whatever decision you make. Cheers! |

Hello my friend.
I am in the same situation as you. I sent the embassy an email requesting for an extension. However the response I got, just last nite, saying i copuld not have an extension so have to re-do my medicals and police checks.
For me, the embassy asked my to pick by the 25th Of Jan as my medicals expire on the 12 of Feb. But due to work obligations and other commitments i needed to give notice period of at least 2 months. The embassy wasnt welling to give me even 1 months extension so as i dont re-do my medicals.
In your case, if your medicals are still valid, you could get an extension for when to present your passports for visa issuance. Just get intouch with the embassy.

Dear All
Thank you very much. I just received my UK visas yesterday and Now i have booked my tickets to UK via Turkmenistan airlines from Amritsar to UK. I appreciate your concerns so did not took the risk of extension. my medical was done on 5th july 2010. So i suppose it is still valid.
If anyone want to send their passports for the stamping. they need to make a authorization lettter for me to carry the passports and present it for visa stamping.
Regards
Ricky

John thanks for saring your concerns. I just received Visa for UK for which I will be traveling to UK for Stamping. You can authorize someone to do this visa stamping for you. They can carry your passports to the Canadian high commission and get it stamped for you. It will take two weeks time. Regards Ricky |

Hello Dear Well As I have Indian Passport and acording to Indian givt (As It says in the passport booklet) you cannot post your passports across international borders. and trust me customs in India are good at locating passports in package. You can apply to ministry of external affairs to get NOC for sending your passport. ( I have no idea how long will that take?) Yes I used to live in UK when I applied for Canadian Immigration as Skilled worker. And this time around I am only going to UK for Visa Stamping. regards Ricky |

I beleive the best place obviously will be staying with some friends or otherwise Housnlow which is nearer to Heathrow airport will be best option. You can look up for cheap bed and breakfast In london. CAMDEN TOWN in central london offers cheap accomodation and will be very lively place. You can look up for hostels and B&B in Camden Town. I have my booking with Shalimar Hotels in Housnlow for £45 Per Night, you can go for cheaper single bed accomodation room. Transport for London Website will tell you the quicker way otherwise Tube services are the best in London. Ricky |
