Email from VFS

Post by 01484 » Wed Apr 04, 2018 2:17 pm

The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWFXXXXXXX was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 4/4/2018 .
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.
If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.
Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.

Does this mean the passport can be collected?
Iv not received any other thing just this email. Can i tell wife to go collect her passport?

Last time when it was refused..... i got same email then next day call from Gerrys saying pick passport up.

So just wondering if i can tell her to collect it or not or wait for call? not sure if they will ring

Thing is she has to travel 5 hours drive to get there so want to make sure its there ready to collect, im sure it looks like from that email and other people receiving same email that its ready to collect.

Thanks for your help

Rather than duplication of posts, suggest read the users other topics.

SORRY CR001, I was in the knowledge that he hasn't posted this before...

01484....Was your's on priority application?

Looking around at this forum it seems this email means to go and pick it up as it is ready..have you not received a text on the number you have provided...

On the TLS WEBSITE YOU SHOULD HAVE A LOGIN WHERE YOU CHECK YOU STATUS?
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?

Email them now and they should respond back by tomorrow.
My TLS contact centre was in Egypt, and they responded within an hour to the email...go to complaints section and ask them....

Its not trackable using that website.
Lahore or pakistan is not an option there.
I guess we will find out tomorrow what the decision is. I will keep you updated.
Please pray for me that the visa is granted.
Thanks

Congrats.

As your visa has successfully been granted, this topic will now be locked to avoid it becoming another 'all tagged on', 'general question/chit chat' one that runs for pages and pages.
