visa details
Good morning all,

Please, give me details of ready status of visa to the UK for the next people. Tell me please, when it will be ready?
The reason is that these people have to be in London on 13th of August, they have a meeting within a “Fleur” international company.
They have applied for a visa four days ago.

I am a adual national and have held British passport for over ten years.I travel tow or three times a year to my country.For some personal reasons i was not able to return to UK while my British passport was valid.After spending so much money and time i was lucky to speak to a staff in British consulate in Istanbul on the phone to ask if i could inter UK with expired British passport and valid Iranian passport.The answer was negative and i was told either to get a new passport which could take up to four weeks or travel with emergency passport.There was no way to wait for four weeks in istanbul to get a new passport since the British embassy in Irran is closed,so i had no other choice but to get emergency passport at the cost of £95 plus staying an extera day in very expensive Istanbul.Leaving Isanbul air port to UK at the passport control they asked me why iam traveling with an emergenecy passport.When i explained the situation and showed them my expired passport,They told me that it was abslutly ok to travel with expired passport.When I arrived in UK i asked them if they would let me inter uk with an expired British passport and the answer was YES.I want to ask this quastion.Is it the duty of British consulate to rub people like me to cover some of their costs and expences?I am giving this information to public because staff in consulate do not want to give it.

Very shabby service....
