I sure you must have had a good experience with VFS?
I applied well in advance for my son for a Brazilian Visa. He was 16 and Brazil needs special clearance for children at that age even if parents accompany. This is to prevent child trafficking that does take place in the South Americas and they take extra caution. That's understandable.
The Visa never came, I went on calling these idiots everyday. Jack, Henry, Mary, Tom answers, possibly from Bangalore but cannot reach their supervisors and every time they say "Sir, it will come in two days".
The visa never arrived, even 48 hours before travel, still nothing from VFS, then I went to the Brazilian embassy and explained (or rather complained). They were kind but I had to pay the visa fee again but granted the visa in one hour.
After about three months on my return, I had a VFS email saying that your son's Visa is ready but the travel dates seem to be outdated.
Typical Indian.
