[Resolved]  VFS Global & British Deputy High Commission Mumbai — Non receipt o[censored]K visa

I am an Indian citizen living in the UK. My mother lives in Thane, Maharashtra & wants to visit my place. Hence she applied for a UK visa.

She submitted her application for family visitor visa to VFS Global on November 05, 2008. VFS Global is a commercial partner of British Deputy High Commission (BDHC). Every UK visa application is routed through them. VFS forwarded the application to BDHC (who issues visa) on the same day.
Her application was complete in all respect & was supported by sponsor letter from me along with proofs of my income, visa status & address.

As per the information published on the website of VFS & UK Border Agency (who is part of BDHC) the visa is normally issued in 4 working days. In cases where secondary checks are required, it may take 15 to 20 working days.

However, even after more than 6 weeks (42 working days) my mother has not received the visa. We tried to contact VFS & BDHC on several occasions to know the outcome of our application but we did not get any satisfactory answer. We had sent e mails & fax but did not get any response.

The behavior of both VFS & BDHC is extremely unprofessional & insensitive. My mother is under tremendous stress as she really wanted to meet us. Kindly look into the matter & advise further.

Att: All Indian Friends,

I would like to strongly advise you all that there is big SCAM!!! in India going on on part of Job fraudulent offer & Lottery system???
There are mixed of people Indian, Nigerian & UK nationals are playaing this dirty game and hv been cheating & dupping people across India.

Incidentally, I am too a victim of their misleading and cheating of my hard earned money, I hv all documentary evidences of their wrong doing and hv filed a complain with British High Commission in New Delhi with request to crack down these guy/scam and insure to prevent that the name of BHC remain identical and not blame so. BHC has assured me all support and help to prevent such ongoing practices?
We will catch them very soon, as CCBP are on job to nab them sooner or later on right time.

After all this I suggest that just layoff>>>> any offer you get from these BASTERED via cyber mail, whether Jobs in Offshore drilling Industries, Hotel Industries, Construction Indistry, Engineering Indusrty, Firms and other establishment in UK as they are frauder and scammers!!!

They are the same people group of 6-10 who keeps changing their name / identity and dup us by various mode Mail /Phone and claim Staff of British High Commission Delhi/Byy/Maa etc...

Just do not send any money to any of them either in India or any other places.
