Hey Guys,

Congrats Ahab1974, Zeetheboss, jaydip, Dan84, sbo, kumar2263, TenderMay, adonai36.....

I have one question, if any would can explain this.
When I receive my PER through a letter, it was mentioned that one should contact VO directly if they did not receive any update from us within 6 months from the date of application received.

So from what date we should count, PER date, AOR, file received at VO or process starting date?

Many thanks in advance.

From the PER date.

Not necessarily though. Some people get much quicker responses.

What is your Visa Office?

My VO is New Delhi.
In The letter I received, they said I should get some response within 6 months from the date they received full application.
According to this it should be date of file received. Don't know confused.
Actually they don't follow same pattern or timeline. depends upon case to case or on their mood.

One of my Friend received PER in oct13 but still no update.

Ask for your GCMS notes if you want to know more.

You don't need any transit visa, until unless you want to go out of airport.
If you stay inside, just to change the plan, no need of that.

You should apply for a Direct Airside Transit visa if you arrive in the UK on a flight and leave again without passing through immigration control.
