Once you’ve entered these details, you’ll be able to see the status of your visa application. The possible statuses include:

• On Hold
• In Process
• Approved (You’ll receive an email notification)
• Refused (You’ll receive an email notification)

SMS Updates from VFS

After your biometric appointment, you can opt for SMS updates. This service sends instant updates on your visa application status directly to your mobile phone. The SMS service will keep you informed about key stages of your application, and when your passport is collected by the Bluedart agents and then dispatched.

Please note: The final decision regarding your visa application, whether approved or refused, will be communicated via email.

Tracking Your Passport with BlueDart

After your visa decision has been made, your passport will be sent back to you. You can track its delivery status using BlueDart, the courier service.

Here’s how the BlueDart tracking process works:

1. Once your visa is approved/refused and your passport is dispatched, you will receive a notification along with a BlueDart tracking number.
2. Go to the BlueDart website and enter your GWF number to track the status of your passport’s delivery.

The process is similar to the VFS tracking method: you simply need your GWF number, and you can monitor the progress of your passport delivery until it reaches your doorstep.

By following these steps, you can easily stay updated on your UK visa application and passport delivery status.

Important Notes:

Be sure to use the exact GWF number, as any errors could delay the process.

The status on the portal will be updated regularly, so you can check it as many times as you need.
