Visitor in Tansit instead of DATV

[davebaboo]

Hi,
I recently applied for transit visa (Sent my documents last week).
My questions is, while filling out the transit visa form I applied to 'Visitor in transit' (VAF1H) visa instead of 'Direct Airside Transit' (VAF6) even though I will not be leaving the airport and not even changing terminals.
My connecting flight is from the same terminal within 6 hours of me landing in UK.
I was wondering if it matters that I applied for 'Visitor in transit' instead of 'DATV' (The documents and fees for both of them are the same except that I have sent the travel itinerary which shows that I am leaving from same terminal in 6 hours)
Has anyone experienced something like this before.
I just hope that the UK embassy dosen't reject my visa under the assumption that I am not leaving the airport and that my connecting flight is within 24 hours of entering UK.

Also please let me know if any of you know of any contact number to reach out to UK consulate to speak someone in person. All I have is their 212 number which is an automated response.

There is an option to select in the application form and you must have selected Visitor in transit option. But it does not matter, you should be good.

Hi ,

Did you get DATV stamped ? I wanted to apply for DATV along with my spouse , i was wondering if there is a simple step by step guide about the complete process.
