Hello, I amposting because this forum helped me a lot to prepare application for my mom for TRV. now I WANT TO GIVE BACK.
My mom's application was submitted to VFS Chandigarh (paper) and received her visa in 15 days. On the day of submission, application status was "application currently being processed at VAC, Chandigarh" and exactly 15 days later, status changed to " passport dispatched via blue dart courier" and next day passport with TRV visa RECEIVED.
strong points for application: financial assets in India, family ties in India, all required docs mentioned on cic website
on the sponsor side: PAY CHECKS AND NOTICE OF ASSESMENT, INVITATION LETTER
key: be positive and be patient as no one knows if visa will be granted or no.
HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING IN TO PROCESSING TIMES
