| Nov 18, 2016 at 10:03 | comment | added | Louis | @Moo: "just looking at it would put me off from using it to apply for a British visa". Surely you're aware that this is the point of the entire process. Anyway, you don't have a choice in the matter. travel.stackexchange.com/questions/64763/… | |
| Nov 18, 2016 at 3:59 | comment | added | phoog | @Moo once you've filled out your online application at visa4uk, the site then instructs you to print the application, make an appointment at TLS, and take the application with you when you go to the appointment. It would make a good question since it is certainly confusing for those looking for information about how the process works. | |
| Nov 18, 2016 at 2:45 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | You'll know the outcome when your packages arrive. For privacy reasons the UK does not say whether you were approved or refused by email. The message you received is exactly the same for both possibilities. | |

| Nov 17, 2016 at 19:32 | comment | added | Perry | My wife also received a message from DHL about the visa package being delivered. It seem like UKVI send to her only. Maybe mine will be late. Does anyone has the same problem and know the outcome? | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:50 | comment | added | Gayot Fow | @Moo you can certainly ask :) I will write an answer explaining that it is part of "WHAT IS" if that's of any use :) | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:24 | comment | added | user29788 | @GayotFow I dont understand where TLS comes in - it looks like a third party site (note: being British, I havent ever had to apply for a British visa...) and just looking at it would put me off from using it to apply for a British visa. The official gov.uk site for Visa4UK doesnt mention it, and there is nothing on the TLS site (uk.tlscontact.com) which offers any explanation as to the relationship between TLS and the UK Government... should I ask this in a question? | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:21 | comment | added | Gayot Fow | @Moo it's the way things work with UKVI. They use Visa4UK and print out the form and take it to the VFS. It's just part of WHAT IS, and explained at the end of the Visa4UK application. | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:20 | comment | added | Perry | Actually we have applied online at visa4uk. But we have to submit all of the documents to TLS contact. This is required by UKVI :( | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:18 | comment | added | Gayot Fow | That's fine. You will get a separate notification. Chill for a while. | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 17:17 | comment | added | user29788 | Out of interest, why are you using a third party service for your application? Why not use the Visa4UK service offered by the UK Government? TLSContact looks very very poor for a website (landing page says you are bound by the Terms and Condictions, Privacy Policy and Use of Cookies, but links to none of those things - which is basically illegal in the UK...) | |
