Comments on this Consulate-General
I live in Mangalore.
I submitted visa applications for self & wife at VFS in Goa on 8th February. ( Ref No; GOAC/080217/0001/01 & 02)
Our flight is at 0300 hrs from Bangalore. Train from Mangalore to Bangalore is at 1045 hrs on 28th Feb.
On 9th Feb, our applications have been submitted at Mumbai consulate as per SMS update from VFS. There were no further updates; so, I contacted VFS from 20th Feb onwards. On 22 Feb, I was informed that some comments on wife's bank statement. Immediately, I submitted another one as per the advice of VFS executive. This information could have been given to me by the consulate 10 days ago.
In any case, my wife is a housewife and her bank statement can not have frequent entries in her account although the balance shown is more than 21K.
We have already submitted the proof of our flight and hotel bookings.
As the situation stands, I am not aware of the status. VFS says they communicated fresh bank statement to consulate and grant of visa is not their domain. When contacted the consulate, they say "check with VFS'. A huge amount of money has been spent by us as advances for hotel bookings as well as business class airfare. Cancellations would cause heavy financial loss to us.
The routine type & insensitive approach from VFS troubling me.
Request to Consulate- Please take immediate action and communicate. If visa not granted and despatched today, I shall not get it by Monday(27th Feb) and we can not set out for our family trip to SAfrica.
Please communicate.
The VFS says it takes 4-5 days but its been 14 days and no update from consulate. I have flight next week and they don't really care.
Hi everyone, please update if there is anyone got their RV in January or February
I have applied ICT Visa on July 2016. I have submitted the relationship document between India and South Africa Company 5 times.
