Hi All,

Anyone applied for a Visitor Visa online through Mumbai?

Applied: May 4th
Passport Request: May 19th

I have a US Visa appointment on June 4th, so am not sure if my passport would be sent back by then? Any idea whats the average time for the passport to return to VAC(VFSGlobal)

Also, will the passport be sent to Bangalore/Delhi or would it be stamped in Mumbai itself? Pardon my ignorance in this!

Much Thanks,
Amar

Hi Amar,

You'll get your passport back in about a week after submitting it at VFS Mumbai.... it will be sent to the Bangalore Consulate for visa stamping


All the best :)

How to fillup IMM5713

Dear all,

I need help to fill up online application for my father & mother,

I can see there is a document for Use of a Family Member Representative for Online Applications (IMM5713) How I will fill up this?
Do my parents need to sign & scan this?
When I click the help button they mention like " A Use of Family Representative form must be filled out and signed by you and your family member. By signing this form your family member authorizes you to represent them and submit their application on their behalf."

Would anyone kindly tell how I can submit this IMM5713?

If I got my passport requested does that mean my visa is approved?

Basically yes, but they can still refuse it, IF you do not send in your passport within 30 days of the passport request so that they can stamp it to complete the process
