Tracking UK VFS Visa Delivery

4/19/2014

I know this post does not in any way relate to Solar or LEDs; however I spent a nail biting weekend trying to track down my UK visa. I finally figured out a way of tracking the passport, and thought if some other hapless traveler finds him/herself in my shoes, hopefully this post will help them. I had already received a mail from the consulate saying my Visa had been handed over to VFS 3 days ago. However, there was no communication from VFS about the delivery of my visa. I was going to fly out Sunday and it was already Saturday. I then chanced upon the following link. You can track your Passport from Blue Dart web site. Simply enter your application reference number in the Track your shipment section and select the Ref no option. It used to accept passport number earlier but that option has been changed recently to use the application number. Your application number is typically of the format: GWF012345689. Try entering the number part of your GWF number (E.g. 12345689) as the Ref no. If that does not work, enter the full thing, viz. GWF012345689.

The earlier method of tracking your VISA status by sending SMS to 57333 using format "VISA UK <passport number>" does not seem to work any more.

Bon Voyage!

Thank you for your post. It really helped me. After spending whole of yesterday trying to find the status, when i saw your post today and tried it, it really helped. unfortunately neither VFS nor Blue dart had any clue that the consignment could be tracked by application number. I was advised to use passport number, which i tried without any results

hi Saurabh, glad it was useful for you. Sad part is that there's no number you can call (at least in Pune) where a human can answer questions. Bon voyage!

Thank you for this post. I enquired to my travel agent they even didn't know the how to track visa status. It is very simple. just put ur application reference id no in bluedart tracksystem and click on reference no. you will get exact status of courier with docket no. so you can check it locally by docket no.

Thanks once again!!!

I received a mail today from UK saying that my documents have been dispatched to Delhi Visa Office.
I have chosen the option of self-collecting.
How long will it take to get a response from Delhi's team?

Parag Thakur

7/31/2014 10:10:49 pm

Dear Mr. Singh. I think you can track the application only after you've received an email from the British Embassy saying that the passport has been dispatched. Since the biometrics was done just yesterday, I don't think they would have reached any decision yet.

Dear Ajit. I think you can track the delivery application only after you've received an email from the British Embassy saying that the passport has been dispatched. You will need to get in touch with UK consulate/VFS to get the status of your application.

Dear friends,
I applied for Business Visa (Short term) for UK on 26-Sep-2014 under priority visa. That Day in the evening i got an sms from VFS stating that my application has been forwarded to the UK Visas & Immi. Today Afternoon I got and SMS with the below message. I tried Bluedart but the number is not traceble in the Ref No. Search.
"The processed visa application for GWF ref no. (GWF033xxxxxx) was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 9/29/2014. If a courier service was purchased from VFS, your processed visa application will be delivered to the chosen address. If not, the documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times."
As I opted for courier option, any idea why it was sent to the UK Visa Application Centre.

I already had 4 UK business Visas stamped earlier. I had applied for another 2 year multi-entry Visa(with a different firm now), with priority service option(Applied on 3 Oct, Today is 10 Oct). I cannot find the status of my application.

Also, on a different note, if anyone has knowledge on this, the firm had obtained a Certificate of Sponsorship for me but plans changed and we decided not to apply for a Work permit but just a normal Visa. Will that cause a problem?

Hi James
My visa refused because of my fund. They asked me the proof for my fund, I said I don't have the proof while they asked me. So they refused my visa... UKBA asking so much of questions...

but still now i didn't get any calls from UKBA

Hi!
I just wanna ask,
I went to VFS last October 15 ,2014 to submit my applications and today i received an email from them about my visa .
It says like this The processed visa application for GWF reference number was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 10/31/2014 1:32 PM .
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.

And I was trying to know when would be the possible day or time of my visa to be delivered. I applied for courier. I was looking at the possible tracking number of it but all I had in me is a receipt of a courier that i paid last October 15th. and at the back of it is a Bar code sticker of my GWF. My question is that how would I know when will be my visa to be delivered?

thanks ..

Parag Thakur

10/30/2014 10:53:46 pm

Dear Angela,

You will get another notification indicating a decision has been made and that the passport has been handed off to the courier. Once you get that SMS, you can track the application from BlueDart website using your GWF Ref number.

hope that helps
Parag

HI Angela

My wife has also received the same email that you have mentioned. However the language is very confusing. Does it mean the decision has already been made and the passport is ready for collection from VFS? Or is it just stating that the application has been forwarded to the embassy?

Kindly confirm.

The processed visa application for GWF ref no. (GWF034645275) was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 2/19/2015. If a courier service was purchased from VFS, your processed visa application will be delivered to the chosen address. If not, the documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.

It is very much important to receive these documents today. I have tried calling helpline, but didn't get any help.

Could you please advice me on how much more time will be required to haev the visa back.

Parag Thakur

2/25/2015 09:07:28 pm

Did you guys try out the updated method:

Your application number is typically of the format: GWF012345689. Try entering the number part of your GWF number (E.g. 12345689) as the Ref no. If that does not work, enter the full thing, viz. GWF012345689.

You can only start tracking this application number on Blue Dart website once you have received SMS from Consulate that they have handed over your passport to VFS for delivery. So you will need to wait for the SMS.

Hi -

I have applied for Tier 2 Skilled visa on 4th of June 2015. I received an email from UK visa and immigrations that they have received my documents and an ECO will review the documents.

While I understand it takes 10-15 working days for the decision to be out. I just wanted to check with others on how many days did you guys heard the decision back from the council? I'm worried as I planned to travel to london on 29th of June. Not really sure whether my passport and the decision will get communicated.

Hey parag,
Thanks but i'm afraid this page does not work.
Instead,i sent an email to them (international enquiry service)
They replied a day later(today) morning, that officer is yet to check my documents and application.
And now in the evening, i got a mail saying the decision has been made on my application.
So, for me, it took 3 days!
Oh god! I'm really nervous!
I have never been to any country.
But yes i have a 10 year b1/b2 visa type {USA).
Moreover i am a medical student.. And i get many oppurtunities to go out like externships,internships,researches,etc.
So, i am just hoping i get it this time itself!
The worst thing is i cannot collect my passport today itself. So it will be done on monday.
Till then..
*fingers crossed*

Hey guys!
I got my tourist visa in 3 days!
Yipppeee!!
That was really really REALLY fast!
Now i have one doubt.
In my passport
Surname- not there.
First name - shivani bedi.
But in my visa - bedi shivani. Surname and first name.
So ,
Is this how it is supposed to be?
Wont it create any problem for me?
Do i need to make any corrections?
As there is no surname in my passport but it is there in my visa.
So please tell me if i need to do something about it.
Reply soon guys.
Thank you.

I sent Mail to https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/
They replied me back
Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration international enquiry
service.

We do understand your concern that you would like to know about the status
of your application to come to the UK. I have tracked your visa application
and found that a decision on your application has been delayed whilst
further enquiries are being conducted.
This means that the decision making officer needs clarification/ more
information on the additional documents that you have provided. In this
case, he could EITHER
(a) call/ email you or your sponsor or any other related party to ask for
more information or documentation,
OR (b) is conduction further checks on his own end,
OR both (a) and (b).
Please note that once a decision is delayed for further checks, the
application can even go out of its normal processing period. Though we try
our best to complete the visa application process in 15 working days, each
application is subject to an individual assessment and processing times may
vary, hence applicants are requested to be patient and wait for the
processing to be completed. The British High Commission, however, will need
to make sure that they are getting the right people inside the United
Kingdom. We appreciate that you respect our processing times and
procedures. We will contact you once a decision has been made or, if
necessary, during the consideration of your application i.e., if we need
any further information/ documentation from your end. You can check how
long you’ll have to wait for a decision on your visa application in your
country (if you applied from outside the UK) by entering your details at
the following link:

https://www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times

However, please note that actual processing times may vary depending on a
range of factors. We have service level standards for processing UK visa
applications. We will process 90% of non-settlement applications within 3
weeks, 98% within 6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application
(biometric taken) date; and 95% of settlement applications within 12 weeks
of the biometric taken date and 100% within 24 weeks of the application
(biometric taken) date. Please note that we define 1 week as 5 working
days. If this period gets over and you have still not received a decision
on your application, please make sure that you are letting us know as we
will then escalate your concern to our senior management.

Hello Guys,

I had the VAC interview in Baghdad-Iraq on the 6th of July, on 13th-July got email saying application received by UK Visas & Immigration and will now be processed in accordance with published timelines (15 days).
on 16th-July got email saying application received at the British Embassy (AMMAN) and will now be prepared for assessment by Entry Clearance Officer, on 27th-July (15 days finished) I got the same email about security clearance!
Why that? Can’t find my visa status on blue dart with the ref no.? How long it takes more after the security clearance! Any one had this case?

your article helped me to track my visa delivery. I had received message from VFS saying it will be delivered soon, and then I couldn't get any status. I was searching how to track and found valuable information about ref. no. and did the same. I got the status of my visa courier service.
Thank you. God bless you.

Hi Friends,

I have applied for business visa 11 days back in New Delhi. I did not opt for SMS service thinking that I will anyway get update on emails. Unfortunately I have not got any update on email as well as sms after submiiting?

Opting out for sms means we won't get emails also?

10/14/2015 03:46:26 am

Even i at same situation as yours ! :) I have found no way to track it. Bluedart tracking doesnt work at this moment.

Have you got the SMS from the VFS, that your passport is made posted. If yes, When did you got? Because I haven't got any SMS from VFS.

Hi all
First of all i like to congratulate all of you who got their visa. I like to now guide people who almost have a nervious breakdown or almost a heart attack looking at the emails and messages.
1. Fill your form correctly with as many details as possible with supportung documents. Your documents should be genuine.
2. Even if you are poor and have a v low ITR tax return dont worry show it.
3. If you are an artist like me show your work add a copy.
4. Always have your return confirmed and mention your travel dates.
5. Show you have to come back at any cost.
6. Do not illegally work in UK its better to find an immigration agent to help you and get your work permit and those who want to get married can ask to apply for spouse marriage visa it is seperate.
7. Be honest in the entire form.
8. It is extremely advisable to ask your UK sponceror to send you their passport copy in color. Their driving liscense. Their counsel tax bilk latest. Their latest 3 months bank statement. This ensures that your sponceror is capable to support you.
9. You should always ask your sponceror to add a coverung undertaking letter and also add your covering letter.
10. For visitors visa now photo is not required.
11. Do carry a medical insurance the vfs office have agents.
12. There is also a free sim card by libero where incoming is free in UK and calling India is just 1 re per minute.

I added all my papers n went for the interview. You dont need an agent they just make money. You can do it online keep a debit or credit card handy.

When you gor for your interview dont be nervious they will just ask your name and date of birth.

Now days it is in tge hands of visa officer to give you visa or not not vfs or agent.

If you are divorced please put divorced dont put single. Be honest.

Do apply for sms alert its good as it tells you your status its only 140 re.

When you get your first email it will say your appl has reached the visa officer. This is a sign of releif as all your docs have reached the consulate and been accepted.

The next you will get a decision has been made n your passport and docs have been dispatched it means your visa has been stamped. Many people get nervious at this stage. When you get an alert to collect your docs means your packet is ready.

GUYS FIRST AND FOREMOST SAY A PRAYER BEFORE DOING ANYTHING IT HELPS A LOT.

I GOT MY VISA IN 3 DAYS I APPLIED ON 10 MAY 2016 AND ON 13 MAY 2016 I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE A 6 MTHS "MULTIPLE ENTRY VISA". PRAISE GOD. Thank you British High Commission and VFS services you made my day.

Even im confused with not having proper tracking reference number for two applications. Tried all combinations , seems two of them worked
1 with GWF Full number in reference tab and 2 with same GWF number excluding GWF + 1 number after GWF. ( eg GWF01234567 entered 1234567).
Hope it helps anybody who wants to track their courier by Bluedart.

Hi,
I had applied for UK visa on 27TH June through VFS global in Bangalore by normal procedure( not fast track) and opted for courier service. The conference will be held in UK during August month. I submitted the application for UK visa to keep in mind to receive in 7-8 working days. I have to attend another conference in Japan in this month and i have already got visa to travel to Japan and also booked the flight tickets. I need to catch the flight for Japan on 9th July morning to attend the conference. So, I must get my passport by 8th July. I emailed VFS, and got reply today(05/07/2016) that UK consulate yet have to see my application. The Japan conference is more important than UK conference. I want to get my passport even without UK visa. Please suggest me what I must do? I am in big trouble.

Applied for Visa from Mumbai, India on 31st May.
Got UK Clearance on 22nd June.
Reached London 5th July.
Got Biometric Residence Permit 8th July.

My suggestion :
Provide as many as documents (original or copy) as possible.
Pay for your IHS (immigration health surcharge)
If possible hire a UK Visa agent and ask to verify your docs, i did the same they took 450 pounds as a fee.

All the best for your Visa!

I received an email this morning saying :
"The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWF041803978 was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 10/21/2016 .
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."

Is this good news or bad news?

When submitting the application, I selected to come back and get the passport so does this mean a decision has been made and my application is ready to be collected from the passport centre?

I tried tracking the application on bluedart but the reference numbers werent found.

Hi, We applied for UK visa on 2 Dec (biometrics done) in Hyd, subscribed for sms updates but only got 1 sms saying " the processed visa application will be delivered to chosen address..."

Prior to that we got email from Chennai that application will be processed on 7 Dec, apart from that no other updates. The employer was contacted on 9 Dec. Sponsor not contacted.

Does VFS inform us before posting passport what the decision is? ie successful i.e passport stamped with visa or refused

Really need to know as need to buy flight asap but holding off as want to make sure we have the visa, just a standard visitor (family) will be first visit to Uk.

Hope someone can help?

also can't track passport on bluedart website.

Hi Warp9,
Which type of ur visa spouse visa or other type of visa ?

12/20/2016 01:37:48 pm

I've applied for my wife's settlement visa in New Delhi and have chosen the Priority Settlement option (have paid for it). But I've not received any email or SMS 2 working days after the application was accepted. What's the click here?

12/24/2016 03:16:16 am

Sharing of my experience

Online application: 16h December
Priority Settlement: Paid online via VFS Global
Documents & Biometric New Delhi: 19th December

We had subscribed for email & SMS, but we did not get anything apart from one email on 22nd

Email 22nd December: Decision has been made and documents dispatched
Passport: 1 month vignette stamped

Here's what I had submitted folks

Online application print
Appendix 2
SU07 (Sponsorship undertaking, they did ask for it)

6 months bank statements declaring my savings (Our application was Category D - Savings)
Original house deeds
TP1 & DX, HMRC Land Registry Transaction etc

Council tax bill -
Utility bill - self certified

Marriage certificate original
2 divorce papers as we are both divorced
Lots of photographs of our wedding and our time together
skype call records for total duration as I was in UK and she in India

IELTS A1, TB report from authorised centre

* My house is in joint names with my ex-wife. I thought I could've included a letter from her saying she didn't object.
* I could've also included a total print of our whatsapp chat
* I could've included our facetime history as well

Many things I had missed, but thank god things went well. We knew everything was genuine and there was little chance of any doubt.

It only took us 3 working days to actually get a decision once we had submitted our documents. So good luck folks.

Check processing times on vfsglobal. I had checked them and Chennai was taking longer than New Delhi. My & my wife wanted to be together ASAP, so she flew to New Delhi to apply.

Already in preparation for FLR(M) after 33 months.

I'm happy to assist people as I was helped by others. Just reply back to this post.

For all those who could not track your passport in bluedart, the solution is that you have to use full GWF123456789 number in capital, than only it will show the status

I submitted my documents and went for biometrics on 13th for business visa. I also choose for sms and email services. No intimation has been there via email or sms. I am little confused and concerned. Is it normal to not get these intimations and alao how many days does it take ??

Hi Gaurav,
Did you apply on priority or standard process?
Did you get any email from Shefield Visa office

Mahima

Hi everyone! So I had a long layover at Heathrow on my way over to the USA, and I unfortunately decided to opt for a visitors transit visa with the UK VFS, as it would give me a chance to see the city. I would have assumed this wouldn’t take much time, but as has been said time and again, none of the visas undergoing standard procedure are even looked at before the 13th or 14th working day. I am just letting people know my time line because it May help someone else making a decision.
I happened to apply at the VAC, in North Mumbai on 2/7/2018 with the SMS alerts. I received one the next day on 3/7 stating that my passport had been forwarded to the office. I didn’t hear from them for the entire time since. I was beginning to get worried and tried to trace my passport earlier this week, as I am due to fly on 26/7. Turns out there is no way to actually trace your passport other than via SMS.
You can get the location of your passport via email correspondence or direct contact with their international helpline which give very generic responses and are charged in pounds.
I called their international helpline yesterday, and was told that they could not help me with more specifics other than the fact that my visa was under process. Since the work Monday’s to Fridays, Saturday’s and Sunday’s along with public holidays do not count as working days.
Anyways I had mentally accepted I May have to reschedule my flight. But thankfully that evening I received an SMS from the UK visa centre along with an email. Here is what the SMS read as: The processed visa application for GWF048894911 will be delivered to the chosen address.
And the email read as follows:

19/07/2018

Dear ******

Thank you for your UK visa application. A decision has now been made on your application and has been dispatched along with the documentation submitted.

The completed application has been dispatched to the Visa Application Centre for VFS to process and forward to you, in accordance with your instructions to them.

It is important you do not go to the VAC straight away as your passport may not be ready to collect for up to 48 hours. Please use the link below to check the exact collection times for your location.
Details on collection time at the Visa Application centre is available at http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/India/applicationcentre.html

*** IMPORTANT: If your application for a visa is granted then it is your responsibility to check the validity of the visa issued to ensure that it covers the period of stay requested, the number or entries required, and that it is valid for the purpose of the trip.***

To report an immigration (visa) or customs crime you can submit information anonymously or you can give us your name and address if you wish. We will treat any information you give us as confidential. Answer the questions as fully as you can but do not put yourself at risk by trying to find out more information.

You can do this by going to: www.gov.uk/report-immigration-crime

Yours sincerely,
UK Visas and Immigration
South and South East Asia Region

So I tried to track my GWF number on the blue dart website as I had opted for the courier service. This is the website -
http://www.bluedart.com/servlet/RoutingServlet. You have to click on the reference number and enter your entire GWF number, all letters and numbers included. This is currently showing me that the passport is secure at a blue dart office near my home and shall be delivered by tomorrow at the latest.

A couple of things from this:

1. A UK visa takes time to process, please expect to wait a minimum of 3 weeks for your visa to process. Do apply a month in advance!

2. Do ask for the SMS and email alerts, they will make your life somewhat comfortable.

3. There is no real way to trace your passport application, unless a decision has been reached. I called their international helpline too. It doesn’t help. You don’t feel any better about your situation.

4. Track using the blue dart tracking site and using the GWF number [Gwf0123456789] as reference number.

5. Last of all don’t forget to pray! :)

All the best! Hope this helps someone....
