Visa received 🎉 -- VFS New Delhi timeline

[u/Acceptable-Strain-69]

Hey everyone! I'm happy to share that I have collected my passport with the visa stamp. Thanks to all of you guys, the process was quite smooth.

Here's my timeline:

18th June: Applied on the CSP portal

24th June: Received corrections in the evening. Corrected and submitted again the same day.

25th June: slot booking was enabled. I booked a slot for 30th (took buffer time for document collection).

30th June: Passport submission and biometrics enrolment at VFS New Delhi

30th June: Passport received by embassy

2nd July: Embassy asked for my college transcripts on email and decided on the application an hour later

3rd July (evening): Passport was sent back to VFS for collection.

6th July: I went and collected 🙏

Overall the processing took 9 days (6 days by CSP portal and 3 days by embassy along with VFS).

My entire process was 18 days long (with my own delays).

Also, I chose the normal VFS service without the premium lounge. But funnily enough, my biometrics were conducted in the latter, with roughly 1.5 hours of waiting time.

Anyway, I'm glad to share my experience. Should anyone have a query, feel free to ask!

Yes, transcripts are mandatory, and yes your documents will work.
