Read the reviews and was definitely apprehensive about my student visa appointment. However,the process turned out to be smooth and swift. Reached the center for my 8.30 am appointment at around 8 am, and was asked to wait around until 8.20 before joining the line by the security. Joined the line again at 8.20 and was admitted inside at 8.29. For student visa, if you have upload the documents online prior to the appointment, you will just be asked to submit biometrics. Waited for about 5 minutes for my token number to be called and went into the biometrics room. The lady was professional and courteous. I was asked to say my name and DOB to the camera and they then proceeded to take my fingerprint scan. After that, I was good to leave. The whole appointment was done in about 20 minutes. A mere three days later, I received an email from the UK visa and immigration authority that my visa has been granted. A couple of hours later, VFS informed me that my passport was ready for collection. Collection time is from 2 to 4 pm. I reached the center at around 2.05 and left by 2.30. AM stress free and easy experience.
