does anybody have experience with UK VAC in London & actual processing times?

[Hansi89]

Hansi, hopefully, they take into account your/our time frame planned and because you still got time, they are not replying yet. Although, I believe these months are high season. You should try to contact them, you've been waiting long enough. You will be fine, though.

Yeah, I thought that I learnt about the awful process with the UK and Schengen visa and I was prepared for this one, but no, it got even worse.

Good luck you too.

Yes emailed them twice, they have replied twice with a generic answer. we'll see what happens .

Hello 3xvisa ;D

No we are still waiting on a decision.

[Hansi89]

[visavisavisa]

Yes. I turned in my application for a visitor visa on Friday and got the passport request letter yesterday. But no update on final decision yet.

Hi visa,

Did you applied on paper or through the online application. That was indeed fast!

 

[visavisavisa]

I applied online.

I applied online.

Good. Let us know whenever you have it. Thanks!

 

[visavisavisa]

Will do. I heard they can still reject a visa after asking for your passport.

Hi,
So I applied for the TRV for a visit. I submitted all the forms required on the checklist (including photocopies of past visas and travel history), bank statements, and my student status letter from my UK uni.

That sounds reasonable but according with the country and student status, apparently I'm not in the best position. May I ask you which is your situation? From which country and what type of student, visa valid. Much appreciated.
