Can someone tell me how many days it took for the final decision after receiving biometrics correspondence letter (validity letter) ? I received biometrics correspondence letter 2 weeks back but no update later.

Hey all, what reasons are you guys using to get the visitor visa in these times? I was thinking of applying for a visitor visa for my girlfriend but I am not sure what reason can I explain to be getting the visa in this time.

My parents had applied for a visitor visa (1st Sep) and today the "Final decision" in the account updated to this along with a passport request letter. Status of the application is still "Submitted" and the eligibility and background check is still reviewing/processing (they already had biometrics from previous application).

Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below for details.

However, when compared to the update posted by other users in this thread it does not mention anything about "further instructions" from New Delhi Mission, e.g. this is what used to be the update after approval:



Did you guys receive any additional email or letter from Delhi mission after that status update? And when the status was updated, did they also issue a passport request letter?

VFS is supposedly closed till the end of Oct, so how do I send the passports then? That different status message (compared to others) is kinda confusing me, wondering if someone else is in similar scenario?
Hey so u applied for your parents TRV in sep and got the approval in oct and you mention that biometric is already done that means u are applying visa again or whats the scenario.

In normal circumstances it takes around 1-2 days...in my case it took 5 days in the month of july

Work for work permit holders, study for those who applied for study permit, or reunification for others.
