indian passport
 

my parents came to the netherlands and i applied for them the uk visa in germany as there is no uk embassy in netherland,first it took 1 .5 month till we received any information from uk embassy and after 1.5 month we cancelled our application after 3 days they sad ok your application is cancelled by applicant

we were supposed to receive our passports in 3 days
but now its more then 1 month and we still didnt received our passports and my parents schengen visa is about to expire as they have their return ticket to india on 5 june

what should we do now
can anybody tell us

WHy didn't you apply through WorldBridge as it says on the UK Embassy site for the Netherlands? http://ukinnl.fco.gov.uk/en/visiting-uk/visas

Do you have a phone number for the Embassy in Germany that you sent your passports to? If so I would phone them and find out what is happening, or e-mail them.

If it was WorldBridge you dealt with then phone one of the numbers on the above website for assistance It will cost you dear mind to phone them.

If it were me I would be on the doorstep of the embassy or consulate you sent the passports to and find out exactly what they have done with them. On the phone it's to easy to be crcled around and never get an answer.

As a backup I would contact the Indian Embassy nearest you and advise them that the passports are missing. You need a replacement plan if necessary. Am assumong your parents' passports are Indian but my advice applies no matter the origin.

I don't understand this part, there's a British Embassy in the Hague??

<i>'I don't understand this part, there's a British Embassy in the Hague??'</i>

Yes, but all UK visa applications have to be sumitted in Germany (UK stopped processing visas in the Netherlands several months back), and Düsseldorf Consulate is the nearest.

And British passports are now renewed in Paris. Makes you wonder what they do all day in Amsterdam and Den Haag ;).

And for Australia and New Zealand, while you send your visa applications to Canberra or Wellington, the actual processing is done in Manila, Philippines. Outsourcing? Cheap labour?

"And for Australia and New Zealand...the actual processing is done in Manila, Philippines. Outsourcing? Cheap labour?"

Yes to both the above.

I should damn well hope my taxes AREN'T subsidising jobs for Australians a Filipino needs more and charges less for.
