Vfs' poor feedback leads to additional charges in flights

<p>I app**** for an Indian employment visa File no ZAFJV00FFB17 on 28 April 2017 at VFS Indian Visas Johannesburg. I previously complained on Hellopeter about the lack of feedback mechanism from VFS on status of the application. This was on 1 June. </p> <p> </p> <p>On 22 June I received a call from the consulate advising that the application may take 10-14 days longer. (Bear in mind that I already app**** at VFS om 28 April). On 28 June, the same day I was scheduled to fly to India, VFS advised that the Visa would take 2-3 weeks longer. So, firstly VFS takes 28 days to respond. Secondly, VFS and the Consulate give different dates. Thirdly, I cannot check the status of my aplication online (since it does not work) and the staff at the call centre are unable to assist.</p> <p> </p> <p>This has resulted in me incurring additional costs on delayed flights and travel agent costs and great frustration and stress. </p> <p> </p> <p>I would advise people to avoid VFS at all costs wherever possible. They are slow, *********** and disorganised. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
