How long does a Student visa Application take in India?

I’ve got my visa appointment later this month. The VFS people in India said that it takes 30 working days to get a visa…My travel date is in early September and so I might not be able to make it if what they say is true.I might add that my full fees at the university has been paid. Will that hasten the process?
How long did it take for you? Thanks!

  • Same problem here guys. I applied on 19th August and still haven’t heard anything about my visa, except for the “visa is under process at BHC” from VFS. Is there any possibility that even after a month, my visa may be rejected. I have checked many times, and I don’t see any reason why my visa should be rejected. Why is it taking so much time? Is it because of the rush or are they more paranoid now than before?

  • there is no possible solution and no way to track the application besides the VFS tracker which has showed that the application is under process at British High Commission for a week now.

    I am guessing, worst case scenario, even it takes 30 freakin days, i should get it around 5th sept and leave then

  • I have paid the fees in full too back when GBP was still 68. I don’t think it is helping to speed up things in any way though.
    I filed my documents and visa on 6th Aug.
    about what VFS told you-30 days, I don’t know that to be entirely or necessarily true cos 2-3 of my friends had received their visas in 3 days!!
    but that was last year, this year is very different with the changed government and visa scam.
    my course starts 13th Sept, but I would desperately like for it arrive by the end of this week so I can fly off 29th Aug.

    ciao
