Visa application
Untuk visa application, dah banyak dah blog yang cerita. Macam-macam but ultimately process dia sama je. So, if you need to know what is the process etc, boleh la check kat other blogs. Cuma I can share sikit which maybe tak sama dgn tahun-tahun lepas.
Gambar passport - tak perlu bawak gambar sendiri or kelam kabut pergi amik. Sebab memang dia akan suruh simpan je balik. They will capture your picture lepas ambil semua documentation.
Photocopy - ramai tanya kena bawak ke tak? Yes, bawa both. Photocopy and original. They will return back the original to you.
Old passport - kena bawa? Yes. Need to.
Financial evidence - Malaysia is a low risk country. Ramai yang tak aware pasal ni sebab ramai yang amik scholarship, just tunjuk financial affidavit shj. So let me tell you, tak perlu tunjuk proof sebab Malaysia is a low risk country. They may ask, but very unlikely.
Kalau ada soalan, boleh la call they all. But if you want to talk to the customer service, kena charge GBP1+ something like that la, per minute. And they need to credit card or debit card details before boleh proceed with your question. So, kalau ada byk questions, sediakan la one shot. Boleh tanya semua sekali.
After submission
Pastu lepas submit, macam we all - tak opt for sms service sbb mahal kot...RM8 per pax. Then, collect sendiri sebab dekat sgt dengan office. Courier kena charge jugak, tak perlu la. So, in between tu takde email takde apa pun. Kena tunggu jela between 15-17 working days, mcm apa dorang cakap hari tu.
Approval
Ok, about the approval pulak..
Syukur syukur Alhamdulillah...

Mula2 cuak jugak sbb email yang dia kasi agak general.
"Dear NOOR SYARIKIN ,
The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWFxxx was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 7/26/2016 .
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.
If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.
Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email."
Haaaa tak ke cuak namanya? Like seriously what is the conclusion. Googled for info. Ada yg kata tu tandanya dah approved and ada yg kata it is denied. Waduh2...siapa je boleh kasi confirmation? Visa centre pulak dah tutup. Can't even call them as office hours have ended.
Next 1.5 hours, they called. Asking us to come and collect the docs. Yela, sebelah office je, takkan nak courier. And yes we did not even sign up for the sms arrangement. Terus time tu jugak kata nak collect the next day. Note: dia boleh collect between 3-5 pm je.
Esoknya (today) lari la kejap pergi collect. Luckily simpan resit hari tu properly. Tanya kat kaunter, means ni dah approve ke? Answer: we don't know. U need to open the package. Uish, berdebarnya time tu, Allah SWT shj yang tahu. Before that, Mr P memang dah berzikir and berdoa bebyk.
Diorang gunting the package, bukak, take the letter and Alhamdulillah...the application was successful. Ya rabbi, nak sujud syukur time tu jugak. Big deal ok???? Spent abt RM20k for the visa application fee and IHS for the whole family. And with the fact that, kita uruskan sendiri all the documentation and going to a foreign country. All these small matters count.
Syukur syukur syukur...
