Procedural changes in assessing UK Visas
Africa » Gambia
Friday, January 28, 2011
The British High Commission in conjunction with United Kingdom Border Agency has announced that with effect from Monday 21st February 2011, the internal processes for assessing visa applications will be amended.
According to a press release from the British High Commission in Banjul, all applications submitted after the date will be forwarded by courier for consideration at the British High Commission in Accra. "There will be no change to the application process. As now, all applications should be completed online at: www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk. All applications will continue to require an appointment so that the printed online visa application form and supporting documentation can be submitted at the High Commission in Banjul. There will be no reduction in the levels of customer service; the United Kingdom Border Agency's customer service standard is to process 90% of non-settlement applications within three weeks of the application being submitted," the release stated.
To allow for this procedural change, the release added, the Visa Section in the High Commission will be closed for the receipt of new applications from Thursday 17th February until it reopens for business as normal on Tuesday 22nd February 2011. Accordingly, the release indicated that any visa applications completed online, on or before Wednesday 16th February, must be submitted for consideration by that date, failure to do so will result in a new online application being required.

TO YOUR ? THESE MAY BE THE REASONS
Ahead of the Tory-Liberal Democrat coalition's emergency budget on June 22, Mr Cameron said: "There is a huge amount of debt that has got to be dealt with." "IMPACT OF CUTS WILL BE ENORMOUS!" WARNS PM
1. UK COALITION GOVERNMENT POLICY ON ITS PROGRAMME OF CUTS; PUBLIC SPENDING, COSTS REDUCTION & SAVINGS
2. GAMBIA IS LOOSING UK DIPLOMATIC RELATIONSHIP
3. GHANA & NIGERIA ARE BIGGER ECONOMIES THAN GAMBIA

You have a point KOBO,the cuts here may be part of the reason.your third point is true.
The UK is justly proud of its diplomatic service and the links that are formed through "talking" to people at top level, I for one certainly cannot visulise any change in its diplomatic relations with Gambia (unless you have other information ?) or any other country where diplomatic relations exist at the moment,staff at the Embassy may be reduced,the Ambassador may even be obliged to use a pedal cycle to save on petrol and help save the planet and reduce our debt  Only kidding  |
